12. Why use Workflows?
• Visual – makes work obvious, quick
• Help streamline activities and be more
integrated
• ID lacking protocols
• Start with concrete and build up
13. 3 things to know about Workflows
• Starting point is always with goals
• Don’t enter through the data – enter through
understanding the work to understand the
data
• Create a visible map: id and distinguish
activities, processes, protocols, decision points
– look for gaps & inefficiencies
19. Workflow Takeaways:
• Start with Goals
• Build up not down
• It’s a participatory exercise
• It’s just an entry point
• Can be done in a very informal way – start
visually!
