Process Mapping 101: How to Map Your Procurement Process to Reduce Cycle Times

Training: Process Mapping 101: How to Map Your Procurement Process to Reduce Cycle Times

Process mapping is an excellent first step toward reducing cycle times and building stakeholder engagement to jumpstart procurement reform. Process maps help you come to a shared understanding of all steps involved in a procurement process and foster discussion around which of those steps are creating more strain than value. Once you understand the problem areas, you can better design and execute meaningful solutions. This slide deck is a resource you can review at your own pace that covers the mechanics of process mapping and how it can be an asset to your procurement transformation efforts. The appendix includes sample slides and notes you can use for your own process mapping sessions.
