Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Identify & Prioritize Process for Mapping

Select a key business process to be mapped, based on its strategic importance or known pain points.

Step 2 - As-Is Process Discovery Workshop

Hold a workshop with the people who actually perform the process to map out each step, input, output, decision point, and system used.

Step 3 - Create & Validate Process Map

Create a visual diagram (e.g., using BPMN) of the process as it currently exists (the "as-is" process). Validate this map with the workshop participants for accuracy.

Step 4 - Analyze & Design "To-Be" Process

Analyze the "as-is" map to identify improvement opportunities (e.g., steps to eliminate, automate). Design a more efficient "to-be" process map that incorporates these improvements.

The Purpose of Business Process Mapping

This workflow provides a structured approach to documenting and analyzing a company's business processes. The act of mapping out a process ("as-is" process mapping) helps to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement. It is a foundational step for any business process improvement (BPI), automation, or digital transformation initiative, creating a clear blueprint for change.
