Thoroughly revised and updated to keep pace with recent developments, it explains how relationship maps, cross-functional process maps (swimlane diagrams), and flowcharts can be used as a set to provide different views of work.
New in the Second Edition:
Four new chapters and 75 new graphics
An introduction to the concepts of flow and waste and how both appear in knowledge work or business processes
A set of measures for flow and waste
A discussion of problematic features of knowledge work and business processes that act as barriers to flow
Seven principles* and 29 guidelines for improving the flow of knowledge work
A detailed (actual) case study that shows how one organization applied the principles and guidelines to reduce lead time from an average of 28 days to 4 days
Unlike "tool books" or "pocket guides" that focus on discrete tools in isolation, this text use a single comprehensive service work example that integrates all three maps, and illustrates the insights they provide when applied as a set. It contains how to procedures for creating each type of map, and includes clear-cut guidance for determining when each type of map is most appropriate. The well-rounded understanding provided in these pages will allow readers to effectively apply all three types of maps to make work visible at the organization, process, and job/performer levels.
