This free online course will teach you how to create an effective flowchart to identify and solve problems.
Do you struggle to identify and resolve issues in your organisation? Without a visual picture of a process, it is difficult to figure out how it works, what drives it and why it can fail. Flowcharts are one of many visual representations of a process map. Discover how you can improve the processes in your organisation with a flowchart. We’ll also walk you through each step of creating a flowchart using live demonstrations.

Are you interested in increasing the workflow efficiency of your processes or project? One tool you should consider is a flowchart: a graphical or pictorial representation of a process. It highlights the important procedures for resolving an issue, given that every organisation faces challenges. How can we create a flowchart to address these issues? In this course, Robert Chapman, your instructor, will teach flowchart mapping in a straightforward way, providing you with the right mindset, tools and techniques to go into your next mapping session. It begins by introducing you to process mapping and its various benefits. We’ll explore how to use the flowchart icons to create a flowchart and then discuss the scenario we’ll use to build a simple process.

While flowcharts are an excellent method for gaining clarity, they can also cause misunderstandings. We will guide you through a step-by-step process of designing and building an exemplary flowchart highlighting possible workflow issues and providing visual clarity of your process. Identifying your strategy is vital in creating a functional flowchart. Failure to precisely determine this process could lead you to map the incorrect areas. Discover how to identify the start and end, so you stay within its scope when mapping out your flowchart. In addition, you will learn how to recognise the trigger point for your process and its various departments.

Once you’ve finished building your flowchart, you should consider what to do with it. We show you how to identify value and waste from your flowchart and how to conduct process improvements with it. We’ll then share a case study of how a process map was created and close out the course with tips on how you can implement change effectively. We have packed the course with many demonstrations to aid your understanding of flowcharts.
