Many times people here the term "streamline operations" or "streamlining operations" and have no idea what that means but don't want to ask. Well, in this video, I provide an introduction to the concept and an overview of what streamlining is and what it entails.

When you streamline operations, you change the operational infrastructure (or put it in if there really is none) to achieve the goals you defined for all segments of your operations. You want to set up your operations in such a way that they are FIRST effective and SECOND efficient, not the other way around. 

Effective means that they achieve whatever goal you want it to achieve. 
If you focus too quickly on just improving processes without looking at the bigger picture and departmental, group and / or company goals, you can spend too much time making work activities take less time (become more efficient) but not achieve your larger goals. Large corporations are sometimes guilty of this but small business owners and entrepreneurs have less of a cushion to course correct when they do this.
