Process mapping tells a story with all the characters, action and consequences. It helps them see the process as a whole. They then can make improvements to the process because they now have a greater understanding of what is happening with the process. This mapping process is so cool.

I truely believe people have the natural tendency to want to see something succeed, when they carry a stake in the final product.
