The Value of Standard Operating Procedures in your Business
SOP
A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is used to capture and store a business workflow in writing and/or pictures and diagrams. Each SOP represents a separate function within the business.
Operations Manual
An Operations Manual is a collection of all of the companies SOP's organized and stored in one place. Tempest works with subject matter experts to write clear and easy to follow policies and procedures and design them for the target audience. Something that AI has yet to demonstrate the capability to do.An Operations Manual is a collection of all of the companies SOP's organized and stored in one place.

How it works
There are many different approaches but the most common format is a simple step by step list of how to perform a particular function. Visual process flows (like the one shown below) commonly appear side by side with the written process to re-enforce the workflow as well as help both visual and reading-based learning. Our operations experts can offer more options and guidance on ways to structure SOP's. In order for our experts to document your processes, we need you to explain them to us.
