The FlowMap System, with its 'non-specialist user' approach to process management, has since 1990 been providing business leaders with an unrivalled means of studying and improving their organisation's performance. FlowMapping is helping businesses daily to reduce cost by the continual improvement of processes and products and continuous innovation in the creation of new products and processes.

The FlowMap approach is far more than 'brown-paper' studies led by outsiders. It is about engaging the employee knowledge-base of a business directly with its management. FlowMap Software amplifies an organisation's brainpower using the convenience of networked computer systems. It differs from other business software products in its comprehensive functionality and its attractiveness to operational staff. By storing data locally FlowMap can support the analysis of process structures and evaluate improvements using Management NewStyle's unique ValueMap approach to economic-quality.

FlowMap Software, however, does more than connect employees to their organisation's purpose; it also creates ownership; it provides invovlement in improving business performance; it invites ideas for innovation; it offers an on-line training resource; it makes available a rich presentation capability; it improves the value of intranet resources and it can provide manager's with evidence of due-diligence. Above all, by relating to individuals as thoughtful and creative beings FlowMap benefits the organisation on a daily basis. By using The FlowMap System organisations can steadily change their nature and reputation from being inward-looking to becoming outward-serving.

Management-NewStyle's founding philosophy is that if you 'only connect . . . the people with the purpose' of an enterprise, then you begin to master the essentials of world class* performance. Today the importance of the FlowMap approach is ever more widely recognised . . . and the need to apply it in daily business life ever more pressing.

* World class was defined in September 1960 by Dr Genichi Taguchi as being "On-target with minimum variance"; that is suppliers pleasing end-users with minimum waste and maximum value to both parties.
