Overview

Business Process Mapping is a powerful tool to streamline operations, identify opportunities for greater efficiencies, and set up for innovation. It’s especially useful in this climate of limited budgets and cost-cutting.

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 organization, enhancing overall quality and customer satisfaction. Finally, it acts as a foundation for continuous improvement initiatives like Lean or Six Sigma, making organizations 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 organizational excellence. Through a mix of presentations, discussions, and activities, it will provide insights that can effectively drive transparency, optimization, and improvement.
