Why We Wrote the Book
• Too many organizations use VSM solely as a work design exercise
• Too many organizations use VSM to make tactical vs. strategic decisions
• Too many organizations map with an inappropriate team—or no team at all
• Too many maps are process maps or contain no metrics
• Too many organization miss out on the behavior and culture shifting benefits of value stream mapping

peer group) – Ultimately accountable for results – Must attend briefings
• Value Stream Champion – Oversee significant portion of the value stream – Heavily engaged in entire value stream transformation (own the
transformation plan) – Member of mapping team – In small companies or those just starting out, the VS Champion and Exec
Sponsor could be the same person.
• Facilitator – Objective; no “skin in the game” – Skilled in both mapping/improvement mechanics, and high-level team
dynamics.
