process actually works.

What you get from mapping your processes? Well, most
businesses decide to go for process mapping because its

processes and help you decide on making improvements
on what you currently have.

objective and measure, track and compare this specific

Identify the process: Of course the first step when
mapping a process is taking an objective look at it and
trying to fully understand all its steps.
Gather information: After realising what a process does
and how it does it, lets take a look at why it does it
(objectives), what can go wrong with it (risks) and how you
can measure it (key controls).
10. Process Mapping Steps:
Interview: Remember all the questions youve answered on
the previous step? Now its time to get in touch with those
that actually use the process and start building a map.

mapped and ask whether it could be more effective and
efficient and what tools you could use to make it that way.
