Starting with a concept that is the cornerstone of moviemaking—storyboarding—the Second Edition walks you through the steps used in process mapping, including:

• Working with the client to ensure that everyone has a full understanding of the processes involved.
• Learning the underlying concepts behind the process such as objectives, risks, and key controls.
• Building the actual maps that are the cornerstone of this approach.
• Using various approaches to help determine how to make the process better.

This practical book discusses the complete cycle of business process mapping and links business objectives, risks, and measures of success to the processes being mapped. In addition, the Second Edition now includes questionnaires, process analysis worksheets, hierarchy/owner maps, and specific techniques to be used in developing effective process maps.
