What Is Process Mapping and How Can It Benefit You?
Process mapping is an analytical method used to identify and document how a process works – including its logic, inputs, outputs, stakeholders and pulse points. It’s all about understanding how and why things actually work (as-is), so we can see how we should be performing work today (process improvement) or could be delivering value tomorrow (process innovation). Mapping can help you root out inefficiencies and bottlenecks, improve coordination between departments, identify failure points, and establish your own best practices.
Process mapping is not a single tool; rather, it’s a toolkit. At Orion, we use a combination of proprietary tools, lean principles, Six Sigma methodologies, data analytics, and software-supported process mapping techniques to help you accurately uncover the true potential of your business.
It’s the first step in achieving continued and sustained growth. Whether you’re looking to improve a single role, department, division, or the entire organization—knowing your current state is the first step. Mapping your processes enable you to:
Gain a Clear Picture of How Work is Truly Being Performed
Process mapping can help you gain a comprehensive understanding of your operational processes, enabling you to have a clear picture of how work is actually being carried out. Without knowing exactly how work is done, decisions you make may be based on inaccurate information.
Identify Areas of Improvement
Once you have a clear understanding of your processes, it becomes easier to identify areas for improvement. You know what your constraints are, where there are redundancies, and where resources are being wasted.
Get Buy-in from Workers Who Must Execute the Change
Effective process mapping will enable you to communicate and gain buy-in from employees who are responsible for executing the changes. This helps ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding how the change will be implemented and monitored over time.
Enable Accurate Business Requirements
Mapping out your workflows is an essential step to correctly defining business objectives, particularly when it comes to regulatory and compliance concerns as well as technology/ERP integrations.

Why Should I Choose Orion?
Experience, Track Record, and Talent are Orion’s greatest assets and why companies have selected Orion over our competitors.
There are many companies out there promising to be the best at business process documentation, but none of them have the expertise of Orion. With over 25+ years in this business, we’ve trained 50,000+ business professionals and facilitated 500+ projects. These projects have resulted in reduced cost, increased capacity and ease of doing business, and greater employee engagement and customer satisfaction.
Business leaders want and need to be guided by the “voice of experience.” And the quality of a company’s services can only be as good as the men and women who deliver these services. That’s why Orion brings a Phenomenal Team to the table. We have no “junior” partners and no straight-out-of-school MBA graduates. Instead, Orion’s consultants hold, on average, fifteen years of professional and management experience prior to joining the Orion team and a track record of success.
We supply the skills, coaching, and project management needed to help your team achieve its goals. We “teach your team to fish” rather than making them hungry for more services. As a result, Orion’s clients enjoy long-term success because our methodology builds self-sufficiency and resilience. We build relationships and get to know your business inside and out so that we can create a custom strategy just for you.
I was initially skeptical…how can someone come in who didn’t understand our business help us to improve our business…that was alleviated after our first session. Any skepticism in the process was taken away after our first session.
