Develop two detailed process maps, one "Current State" and one "Proposed Future State" (the same process, updated to reflect your proposed improvements) . Start with a 200-300 word explanation of the proposed changes You may choose any process you are familiar with, from your personal or professional life Imagine you're using this to present to leadership and request their approval. You want them to focus on the substance of your request, not to get bogged down trying to understand what the proposed changes are. The differences between "Current State" & "Proposed Future State" should be visually obvious, requiring very little explanation The two process maps should be structured as similarly as possible, in order to facilitate side-by-side comparison. For example, put unchanged steps in the same position on the page, use colors to denote changes, etc. Format . Option #1 (preferred): Microsoft Office Suite (PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Visio, etc.) Microsoft - Creating a Process Map in PowerPoint Option #2: Photo of process map created manually (e.g. Post-It notes on dry erase board)
