The first step is getting your team on the same page. Together we map your end to end value delivery process.
Quickly discover and document your processes, to help you identify bottlenecks, reduce errors, and resolve confusion and conflicts among your staff. Through interviews with employees and managers, documentation review and observing the process we will develop end-to-end process maps for your organization using industry best practice Business Process Mapping Notation 2.0 (BPMN 2.0), which will be adapted to meet your unique business needs. The resulting maps will include all steps in the process, interdepartmental relationships, systems touch points, regulatory requirements, decision points and any documentation required throughout the process.
Best process improvements are done in partnership
Proven Approach
Our proven process mapping approach provides value delivery maps within 5 days. Through interviews with employees and managers, documentation review and observing the process we will develop end-to-end process maps using industry best practice Business Process Mapping Notation 2.0 (BPMN 2.0), which will be adapted to meet your unique business needs. We will lead your experts from cross-functional teams through a workshop. This participative approach is designed to break down silos between the areas as they create a collective view of the process.
Industry Best Practice
The maps will include all steps in the process, interdepartmental relationships, systems touch points, regulatory requirements, decision points and any documentation required throughout the process. Once we create the process maps, we will walk employees and management through the maps to garner feedback. This approach will provide information for our analysis and identify operating problems, resourcing concerns, technology gaps and engagement opportunities that your employees perceive in the process. This step helps kickstart employee buy-in for process improvement, a crucial first step in the Change Management Process.
