Position Overview

Role Purpose: Create clear, end-to-end visibility into how work actually happens across people, systems, and decision channels, and translate that understanding into credible future-state process and value stream designs that enable successful transformation and an environment of continuous improvement.

Role Accountability: The Transformation Process Leader is accountable for establishing process truth and enabling grounded future-state design across transformation workstreams. This role ensures initiatives are based on how work truly operates, not assumptions, documentation, or opinion.

Signature Capability: Can spend an hour with operators, leaders, or SMEs and independently produce a ~90% accurate end-to-end process and value stream map, without requiring formal workshops or extended discovery cycles.

Key Responsibilities

• Rapidly map end-to-end processes (L2–L4) across functions
• Identify roles, handoffs, decisions, controls, rework, and wait states
• Capture system touchpoints, data flows, and integration gaps
• Distinguish documented process from actual operating reality

Value Stream & Performance Analysis

• Identify value-adding and non-value-adding activity
  Surface sources of delay, complexity, and waste
• Connect process performance to business outcomes and pain points
• Provide a fact-based foundation for initiative scoping and prioritization

Future-State Design Enablement

• Translate current-state insights into practical future-state process options
• Pressure-test improvement ideas against operational and system constraints
• Highlight trade-offs across speed, cost, risk and control
• Support benefit hypothesis development without owning benefits

Transformation Integration & Stakeholder Partnership

• Deploy quickly into transformation initiatives with minimal ramp-up
• Partner closely with project leaders, sponsors, and operators
• Apply consistent process and value stream standards across initiatives
• Enable faster, higher-quality scoping and design decisions

Operating Principles

• Fact-based and grounded in reality
• Fast, pragmatic and outcome-oriented
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and incomplete information
• Credible with operators and trusted by leaders
• Maintains high standards of integrity, discretion, and respect for operators’ realities; surfaces issues constructively without blame
• Comfortable being mostly right, fast — and refining with evidence
• Able to infer process structure from incomplete, inconsistent, or conflicting inputs

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• A shared, accurate understanding of end-to-end process reality
• Reduced debate driven by opinion; increased decisions driven by facts
• Faster, higher-confidence initiative scoping by project leaders
• Process and value stream artifacts actively used to drive change
