Business Process Management is all about finding ways to get things done better, quicker, at lower cost.  It is not a theoretical science - it is a set of concrete activities that drive measurable value-add and cost reduction.

Value-Stream Mapping

By creating a set of maps that capture your workflow, you can take the information that exists in the collective minds of your employees, and convert that information to knowledge, in a set of easily communicated maps. 

Why is mapping of your workflow considered to be such an effective tool? 

  • It provides a clear view of your value-stream, which is comprehensible to all stakeholders
  • It provides a way to achieve a standardised, consistent approach to tackling different challenges
  • Mapping is flexible - it can define your value chain, your High Level Process model, your Organizational Model, your Role Interactions, whatever you need 
  • Mapping allows for detailed decomposition (nesting) of your activities, so it is easy to go from a high-level view to a detailed view.

How do AspiraCon Map your Value-Stream Activities?

  • We work with your staff to tease out how things work, and draw the workflow
  • While capturing the "as is" workflow, we build up a set of suggested improvements.  Whenever we work with a team to map their workflow, the team always identifies opportunities to improve or activities to streamline  
  • Those opportunities are later subjected to a Return-On-Investment analysis to decide which ones are implemented.
  • We capture any documentation that may exist - procedures, work instructions, templates, wikis, guidelines - and we link those documents to the relevant part of the workflow map
  • We publish the maps, and create a live web-version on your intranet, with live-links which allow people to navigate through the maps, to quickly access documentation, and to see what potential bottlenecks may exist in their organization
  • We teach staff how to create value-stream maps for themselves, everything from capturing workflow to publishing the live maps on the web

We have experience creating Value-Stream Maps for a range of industries.
