Describe an activity that you believe helps the profitability of the company in the particular department where you work (or in one in which you have worked). How does that activity increase the value of your product or service from the point of view of the customer? Or, how does it reduce the internal cost of the product or service? If it doesn’t do either of these, what would have to change to either create value or reduce costs? (no need to identify the organization you are describing)
