Process mapping is a well-known
technique for creating a common vision and shared language for
improving business results. It helps you understand how people,
departments, customers and other functions in the organization
interact to execute. What is defined doesn’t always match
what is happening.
Process mapping allows you to
examine a business process clearly, without the 'distraction' of
the organizational structure or internal politics. In fact, it
uncovers weaknesses in structure that may need to be resolved.
It identifies the steps that are the cause of bottlenecks, delays,
barriers and errors and creates a map of the ideal process to aid
in creating and implement plans for improvements. Process mapping
is particularly effective in determining where breakdowns are in
communication and information sharing.
Communication and information sharing are the lifeblood of today’s
organizations. Process mapping helps you understanding where
the breakdowns are and where processes need to be created to
improve efficiencies and effectiveness. It defines where the
focus should be to overcome barriers and define the priorities
to solve organizational needs.
