Background and Purpose

Background

Many companies struggle to clearly define and map their value streams, often missing a shared understanding of how value is created for customers or which business capabilities are key to supporting it. This makes it harder to optimize and adapt as customer needs change.

By making value streams explicit and aligning them with business capabilities – using a common language – organizations can enhance customer value, improve collaboration across all business areas, and manage complexity more effectively, from strategy to IT, leading to faster reaction times and more efficient value delivery.

Purpose

The purpose of this training is to equip participants in two days with a solid understanding of value streams, business capabilities and their interactions. Attendees will learn the principles of identification and mapping of value streams and their integration with business capability models and use low-effort methods to improve value delivery with the new gained insights. The training offers knowledge, tools and actionable steps for your company to enhance alignment between business and IT, streamline processes, and reduce time to market.

Goals:

Provide participants with a clear understanding of the key concepts surrounding value streams and business capabilities.
Teach practical techniques for mapping value streams and aligning them with business capability models.
Equip participants with the skills to optimize value creation by integrating business and IT processes seamlessly.
Guide in identifying synergies across various business functions to improve overall efficiency.
