Process Map [Level 1]
A Process Map provides us with a holistic representation of the dependencies between different processes. For example, a Staff Induction process would have a dependency upon a Recruitment Process.
What does this map tell us?
- Process B is dependent upon the output of processes A, D and F.
- Process C delivers the final output in this map and is dependent upon the output of process B as its input.
- Process D has no dependency, but its output provides part of the input to process B.
- Process A provides input to both process B and process E.
- All processes, with the exception of Process D have an up-stream dependency on Process A.
Hints & Tips
- We would use the Organisational Context Model to identify which processes were undertaken by other teams within the organisation.
- Practice your thinking: Which processes at home or at work are dependent upon other processes happening first?
