Learn how to use process mapping to improve efficiency in your business processes and help to deliver continuous improvement on this Process Mapping training course.

Understanding how workflows and processes work within an organisation is key to identifying issues and taking corrective action in the drive for continual improvement.

Process mapping provides a visual illustration of how workflows and processes work. As organisations move away from wordy documents, the technique is becoming increasingly helpful in making decisions about what we are doing that is right and effective, or whether there is room for improvement. Visual representations have the added bonus of making it easier for everyone involved in the processes to participate in the discussion, even if they are new to their role or not involved on a day-to-day basis.

This interactive 1-day training course, led by an expert tutor, is designed to help delegates understand how process mapping can be applied within their own organisations to identify areas that need addressing, not just as single events but for continual improvement.
