- Map processes strategically using the most effective notation—BPMN, UML, or flowcharts—based on stakeholder expertise and compatibility with existing documentation systems.
- Define clear process boundaries in matrixed organisations where responsibilities overlap and performance metrics conflict across departments.
- Establish accurate baselines for cycle time, touch points, and rework by extracting and analysing operational data from ERP and CRM platforms.
- Identify true process ownership in complex structures, ensuring accountability aligns with outcomes.
- Time your analysis correctly—determine whether to assess as-is workflows pre- or post-digitisation to avoid misleading results.
- Minimise resistance from middle management by aligning observation activities with departmental KPIs and compliance requirements.
Advance your capability in data-driven process discovery with techniques tailored to hybrid environments.
