What You’ll Learn Using value stream mapping as a tool for clarity and communicationTime and MotionHow the process of mapping generates necessary conversationMoving from an unmapped space to a mapped space to create collective consciousness Quotes “Value stream mapping is a technique for visualizing and measuring a value stream in an on demand way. The act of mapping a value stream is drawing out the activities that occur across a value stream. Traditionally it goes from raw materials or suppliers to customers.” -Steve [01:40]“Value stream mapping gives you the opportunity to step out of your current state and look at what you can actually do to achieve a higher level of performance. I’ve never seen a method that is as effective as value stream mapping for the purpose of stepping back and looking at what is happening, so we can break out of the status quo and get ourselves to a future state of higher performance.” -Steve [22:46]“Everything that we are working on is invisible. Value stream mapping is the activity of moving from an unmapped space to a mapped space, a space that is invisible until you take the time to record what is going on. It is a kind of reflection, of looking back and contemplating what is this process and how are we working together to move what is unconscious to being collectively conscious.” -Andrew [11:27]“When we talk about “knowledge work”, value stream mapping is a very powerful and focused kind of knowledge work. You bring a group of people together, pull their collective understanding and go see what is actually happening in the work space. You are generating new and valuable knowledge. You can take that knowledge and go back to making all these various process improvements.” -Andrew [20:35] Resources Inside Out: The Power of Value Stream ClarityBook: Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability, and the Pace of Life in Organisms, Cities, Economies, and CompaniesVuvuzelas!Bain B2B Elements of ValueBain B2C Elements of ValueTime and Motion studieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_and_motion_studyFrank and Lillian Gilbreth“A time and motion study (or time-motion study) is a business efficiency technique combining the Time Study work of Frederick Winslow Taylor with the Motion Study work of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth (the same couple as is best known through the biographical 1950 film and book Cheaper by the Dozen).
