So what have we learned?
It’s all about the process.
Barbecue those sacred cows.
Map the As-Is before you the To-Be
Get an impartial third party
Both you AND your technology need to be flexible
Don’t install, implement – use the experts
Get management behind you
A process is “a complete end-to-end set of activities that together create value for a customer.”
Rally the troops and get everyone involved
And most of all…listen.

Awwwwww
And they all lived happily ever after

How it works:
Catch Process Pete - the unofficial Business Process mascot
Answer a question correctly  WIN!
Answer a question incorrectly  Everyone will shout out the right answer at you and (gently) throw stuff at you
OW!

Question #1
TRUE OR FALSE:
ACCOUNTING
is a
PROCESS

Answer #1
Of course not!
A Process is “A complete end-to-end set of activities that together create value for a customer .”

Question #2
TRUE OR FALSE:
ACCOUNTING
is a
FUNCTION
(and therefore can be an actor in a process)

Answer #2
Of course not!
A function is a job role with a single, targeted skill set.
(Accounting is an organizational group – a bunch of people that share a manager, a cube farm and a coffee pot.)

Question #3
Multiple Choice:
Swimlane diagrams are divided into lanes so that:
Each actor in the process gets their own lane, and handoffs are easily seen
Swimmers won’t smack into each other
Each Twinkie will receive the exact same amount of creme filling

Answer #3
Wow, you’re right!!
Swimlane diagrams show the flow of the cross-functional process.
Watch these handoffs for waste, delays, and errors!!

Question #4
Multiple Choice:
Effectively map your “As-Is” process by:
“ Stapling” yourself to a work unit and following it through every step until it reaches the end customer
Jumping up and down on your left foot chanting “Hooba cooba cho!”
Integrating the bezier function of the process to prove that an inverse logarithm is indeed a singular solution

Answer #4
Holy cow! 4 for 4!!!
Yup, “staple” yourself to an order, watch everything, physically walk the path, copy documents, note tools, and ask LOTS of questions.
How did I know you were going to get them all right?!?!
Is this presentation psychic!?!?

Wow is that the time!?
Sorry, no time for questions
Darn.
OK, fine.
And I’ll hang out afterwards to answer more
And you can email me
