Overview
In the current climate of heightened scrutiny over public sector budgets and spending quality plus the imperative to cut costs, Business Process Mapping emerges as a powerful tool for government agencies. Business Process Mapping is a structured approach that provides organisations with a clear view of their operations. As an approach that requires nothing more than pen, paper and time (and space) to think, it is perfect for public servants to identify opportunities for process optimisation.
The advantages of Business Process Mapping are multifaceted. Firstly, it fosters transparency and clarity, simplifying the comprehension of roles and responsibilities for employees. Secondly, it lays the groundwork for process optimization by pinpointing bottlenecks, redundancies, and inefficiencies. Moreover, it ensures regulatory compliance and risk management, aligning processes with established standards. Furthermore, it encourages uniformity and standardization across the organisation, enhancing overall quality and customer satisfaction.
Finally, it acts as a foundation for continuous improvement initiatives like Lean or Six Sigma, making organisations more agile and competitive in the dynamic public sector environment. This course has been specially developed for public sector professionals who are responsible for streamlining operations, enhancing productivity, and driving organisational excellence. Through a mix of presentations, discussions and activities it will provide insights that can effectively drive transparency, optimisation, and improvement.
