Listen Later

In this episode of Business Analysis Live!, host, Susan Moore, talks with Dan Funk and Alex Herron from Sartography, a business process automation company, about business process models and why they matter to the work of business analysis. Hosted by Susan Moore, Community Engagement Manager at the International Institute of Business Analysis, this episode unpacks the key role of process models in driving project success and improving communication across teams.

We begin by addressing a common question: “Why do we need process models?” Many organizations struggle to recognize the value of process modeling, often viewing it as complicated or unnecessary. Through the insights and stories from Dan and Alex, we address these misconceptions and demonstrate how process models create a shared understanding among team members and stakeholders.

We also talk about introducing process modeling into your work, particularly where you may have some resistance to using them. With plenty of real-world examples, we highlight how business process models can drive better communication, improve decision-making, enhance collaboration, and contribute to more successful project outcomes.

Episode Highlights:

• Why business process models are essential for clarity and alignment.
• Overcoming resistance to modeling within teams and organizations.
• Real-world examples of how process models enhance collaboration and decision-making.
• Tips for introducing process models effectively and building stakeholder trust.
• The tangible impact of process modeling on project outcomes, including risk mitigation and faster delivery.
