Business Process Mapping for the Public Sector

21 February 2024 – 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM AEDT | Online

Training Overview

Get started on your process transformation journey

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 optimising and increasing efficiency.

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.
