“I look at every process and ask, ‘Is there a better way to do this?’ Whether we can automate is one of the things our practice group leader is always asking. We’re not automating in a way one of us will lose a job, but in a way to make the process smoother. Ultimately, improving our processes ensures we can help make our client’s jobs easier.”
