Process Mapping Training

Process Mapping Training Benefits

A Structured Approach to Process Mapping

Our workshop looks at the different types of process maps and their benefits, helping your team to develop the right approach for your organisation. Throughout the workshop, our trainer will work with your team to decide on the best structure for your process mapping needs.

Active Work on Live Processes

It is not essential, but is hugely beneficial to use an active example of a process you would like to map. This way, the approach you choose becomes more relevant, and you gain the added benefit of a training programme with constructive work on your business goals.

Advice & Guidance from an Experienced Practitioner

Our trainers have a wealth of experience with Lean and Six Sigma practices, including process mapping. They will guide your team each step of the way, advising on the most efficient options for your process mapping techniques.

Options for Development

This is available as a standalone lean six sigma training, or as part of a combined programme for continuous improvement. For example, you could combine this with Lean Problem Solving or with FMEA Training.
