The overall process can be divided into sessions which can include pre-work, as well as characterizing 'as-is' and 'to-be' processes. The goal of the sessions is to create a continuous improvement productivity loop. The processes of the invention can be aided by apparatus including an instruction execution platform operable to store and execute computer program code instructions for implementing a plurality of the tools for use in characterizing the as-is and a to-be processes. One or more of these tools can be implemented in the form of a spreadsheet. A data store can be operatively connected to the instruction execution platform by a network to supply historical data and store results.
