How much do you need to know to know you know enough?

The answer to that question determines how much (if any) mapping of Current State you need to do. Certified Process Masters (www.certifiedprocessprofessional.com ) will tell you the answer is only enough to know what you need to change it to, as within non manufacturing processes the actual process we depict does not physically exist. It is a collective hallucination.

So start with the most simple and accessible techniques (Post-It notes and whitepaper) then apply what you need to achieve the successful customer outcome. A subsequent question then arises - how do you know what is applicable? Run the sponsor/stakeholders through the SCO Map, and that will develop for you the discrete and measureable deliverables to determine the 'best' approach (it takes about 60 minutes to do that).

Everything should be targeted towards making customers lives (internal and external) easier, simpler and more successful.

If you haven't yet been introduced to the SCO map concept here's an overview

The Certified Process Professional(tm)

The Certified Process ProfessionalTM programme has in various forms existed since 1995 and is currently offered on a worldwide basis through several global companies, conference organisers and institutions.
In 2009-10 people have attended open, in-house and online classes in South America, US, Europe, China, South Africa, India, Australia and the Middle East. Developed from a bedrock of Business Process Reengineering and spanning the business analysis discipline it has evolved to cover both traditional ‘inside out’ BPM and latterly in its current form (since 2004) advanced BPM.

It is a highly pragmatic, hands-on programme leading to recognition as a Certified Process ProfessionalTM

Since 2006 more than 10,000 individuals have qualified as Certified Process Professionals and the programme has been delivered in 118 countries. In the last four years more than 800 companies across all key business sectors have engaged the BP Group to help with their training, coaching and mentoring.

The current Certified Process ProfessionalTM programme features seven levels, including
Certified Process PractitionerTM,
Certified Process ProfessionalTM (CPP),
Certified Process MasterTM (CPMaster) and
Certified Process Advanced MasterTM (CPAdvM)
