Who Really Needs Business Processes, and Who’s Missing Out

Not every company has the same need for structure. Some thrive with processes, others flounder without them. Here’s who gains the most and who tends to fall behind.

Who Needs Business Processes the Most

- Startups: Early systems prevent future chaos.

- SMEs (Small & Medium Enterprises): Processes enable scaling while maintaining consistency.

- Corporations: Depend on standardized workflows for compliance and risk control.

Who Usually Lacks Business Processes

- Early-stage startups: Focused on growth, not structure.

- Creative agencies: Avoid processes to “stay flexible.”

- Legacy firms: Rely on outdated or undocumented systems.

Conclusion

Every business, no matter the size, needs structure to grow sustainably.
