Work Smarter Not Harder

At Flow Accel, we specialize in discovering ways to help organizations increase their output while reducing the chaos and pressure of everyday work. We work closely with clients to analyze their current operations and identify areas for improvement or build new processes that don't exist today. By leveraging foundational knowledge and industry best practices, we help businesses streamline their workflows and achieve sustainable growth. Our goal is to improve your business without having to work nights and weekends to do it. How you do that is by developing a smart workflow design. We can show you how.

Discover and Share Knowledge

We believe in the power of knowledge sharing as a catalyst for growth. We can show you how to design foundational workflows that will enable you to deliver and outperform your competition. Our workflow analysis takes your teams on a journey of discovery, and then you can leverage what you learn to build what you need. What you discover will increase the velocity of work, reduce frustration, and free up resources to work on other things your company needs.

Lead with humility, knowledge, and compassion

In today's fast-paced business world, leading the right way matters. For too long, successful leaders have been portrayed as strong and tough. Today, that is not nearly enough, and these are not the important things. The best leaders today must be able to extract the collective knowledge of their entire organization to be effective and meet the moment. Flow Accel can help your organization realize your mission, hit your goals, and do it in a way that helps the families of the people who work for you. Life is hard enough without work making things more difficult for us all. In the end, I think the goal is to be happy, so let us know what we can do to help you balance work and life better by leveraging workflow design.

Workflow Acceleration Sprints

At Flow Accel, we work with organizations by facilitating workflow mapping sessions to help solve the challenges they face. Whether it is to do more with less, grow the business, or resolve some specific problem or challenge. These can be done virtually or on-site. In one session, you can discover huge opportunities for improvement.

Workflow Design

This is a more in-depth analysis compared to our Workflow Acceleration Sprints. We can help your organization design work so that it leverages foundational workflow principles. Starting on a solid foundation will enable growth and set your organization up for long-term success. The approach depends on what needs to be accomplished by your workflows. We offer free assessments and will propose a plan to address the challenge at hand.

Leadership Development and Getting Ahead

Sharing knowledge with the next generation of business leaders is at the heart of what we do. Our leadership-focused content, which connects to workflow design, cultivates the skills and insights necessary for emerging leaders to excel in today's dynamic business environment. We have online resources that cover some of the foundational topics. We offer mentoring for those interested in a more personal approach. We also connect you to other industry experts so you can leverage their expertise.

Workflow and Leadership Resource Center

The Resource Center contains knowledge and information to help the next generation of leaders get ahead, lead, and design their workflows. Where you should focus depends on the goal, problem, or challenge. We can help find a customized approach that will help you in your journey.

Workflow Design and Acceleration Sprints

Workflow design sessions are a deeper dive compared to sprints, which are targeted and have a lower scope. All you need to do is bring us a problem that can be solved by doing work. Any kind of work, it doesn't matter. We can help you understand the scope of what you are trying to accomplish and give you a sense of how much effort it will take. Sprints are typically 1 hour, 4 hours, or 8 hours in duration, and design sessions are typically 2 days or longer, depending on the scope and focus.

About Flow Accel

Flow Accel is a consulting and mentoring firm dedicated to workflow design, leading workflows, sharing knowledge, and helping people in their daily lives. Most leaders don't realize how much these concepts can help their organization and teams. Traditional business literature and teaching do not focus on what we are advocating enough. The bulk of it is bogged down in industrial age thinking, which is less effective every day.

From experience, a typical workflow has a problem every 2 to 3 steps. What we are trying to avoid is urgent escalations, working nights and weekends, and frustration at work. The great news is that this is also fantastic for your business and personal life. We would love to help you in your journey.
