Q4’s guide, “4 Ways to optimize your investor relations processes,” shares how to analyze and incorporate more effective and efficient approaches, leading to a better experience for you and your investors.
The first section covers the Lean principles, originating from Toyota’s innovative manufacturing process from the ’50s. Lean advises examining each task in your processes, looking for opportunities to reduce waste and standardize procedures. For example, with a value stream map, you can see potential bottlenecks and ways to streamline your investor relations strategy by visualizing each step in the process, eliminating unnecessary steps and ensuring your time is being well spent.
Technological innovations in modern IR practices also play a critical role.
