What Does Business Process Reengineering Involve After COVID-19?
Just as the federal government, states, and municipalities are developing and releasing plans for re-opening, business owners and leaders must develop a plan for re-opening.

- Develop a management system to ensure deep cleaning protocols are followed.
- Post signs throughout the premises to inform everyone on the premises about the requirements to maintain social distancing.
