Firstly, the making of the budget for next year for Taj Blue Sydney. Secondly, hiring a head chef for the hotel. In the first process the end result is the final budget which abides by all the legislations. The result of the second process is the employment of a qualified and suitable chef. In both these processes many staff members are involved. The diagrams below represents the activities and the people involved in the processes at Taj Blue Sydney. Innovation (process related) The innovation that is suggested is in the process of hiring. The current process of hiring a chef is individual interviews for all the candidates. This is a very time consuming process for the management. The new innovation can be making different rounds for interview. The first round can be group discussion round where all the candidates participate in a group discussion . The second round can be a debate. An important thing to be noted here is that only the participants that clear the first round can go to the second round and so on and so forth. The third round can be the written examination round. The last and the final round can be the personal interview round. Business Value Creating the rounds can prove to be of immense business value and will save time of the managers and the other authorities that are involved in the hiring process. This works by elimination process. Every round many candidates gets eliminated and in the last round only few candidates are left to be personally interviewed. The time that the management and the other staff members save from here can be efficiently utilized for more important issues.
