An organization-any organization- is a collection of processes. These processes are the natural business activities you perform that produce value, serve customers and generate income. Managing these processes is the key to the success of your organization. Unfortunately, most organizations —probably yours— are not set up to manage processes. Instead they manage tasks.

Think about it. Isn’t your company organized around functions (the manufacturing department, the x-ray department, the sales department, the customer service department)? As a result, people tend to focus on “local” concerns instead of the “global” needs of process customers. Sub-processes evolve within departments without consideration of other functional areas.

Layers of communication and management are createdto ensure desired outcomes, thereby adding to costs and lengthening cycle and customer response times. Inefficiency and waste become part of the system. They rob your organization of profits, productivity and its competitive advantage. But, there is a way out.Process mapping is a simple yet powerful method of looking beyond functional activities and rediscovering your core processes. Process maps enable you to peel away the complexity of your organizational structure (and internal politics) and focus on the processes that are truly theheart of your business.

Properly used, process maps canchange your entire approach to process improvement and business management. . .and greatly reduce the cost of your operations by eliminating as many as 50% of the steps in most processes as well as the root causes of systemic quality problems.
