#Mapping your processes

Dear #CEO
How do you map your processes.

It’s not too dissimilar to charting your sailing route.

You map where you are going to sail to some port for example.
You check the weather, the boat, you brief the crew.
You plan how you leave the harbour Dock.
During the process you continously improve your processes, information flow and who does what how.
You modify your course according to the progress, the goal and the environment surrounding the boat.
You build team communication, self reliance, engagement and solving problems.
You discuss and agree how to enter the harbour.
You practice maneuvers, man overboard, charting, weather, depth, sail trim, safety.
You do a post process sail review, let’s call it, one point lesson OPL.
We practice andon and standard work particularly during a race. SOP is carried always, each time we do a manoeuvre.
We practice problem solving.
We visual management the course on a small white board.
We kaizen knots, procedures, harbouring, engine checks.
We enjoy and celebrate.
