In the business world, process management is like putting together a big jigsaw puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle represents a step or task that a company needs to complete. But what happens at the points where the pieces meet? This is where the cross-departmental interfaces come into play ‐ they are the connecting pieces between the parts of the puzzle.
But what happens if the pieces don't fit together properly? An incomplete picture. It's the same in a company: If the interfaces between departments are not well designed, information can be lost, collaboration is made more difficult and processes come to a standstill. Optimizing these interfaces is therefore crucial. It enables the smooth flow of information, promotes collaboration and ensures that all the pieces of the corporate puzzle fit together well. Process management without taking cross-departmental interfaces into account would be like a puzzle without instructions ‐ important pieces are missing.
