Overview

This workshop is designed to enable delegates to deep dive into the mechanics of process mapping workshops; starting with critical thinking skills, understanding the current business state, and analysing opportunities for improvement and efficiencies. The next step would be to generate the future state within the to-be processes, which will form part of the requirements for the new system.
