		+	A Business Process Model diagram is a tool - a means to an end, not a performance outcome in its own right. The final output is improvement in the way that the business process works.
		+	The focus of the improvements is on 'value added' actions that make the customer service and experience better, and on reducing wasted time and effort.
		+	There are two main different types of Business Process Models which are used to analyse, test, implement and improve the process:
		+	*the 'as is' or baseline model (the current situation)
		+	*and the 'to be' model (the intended new situation)
		+
		+	The aim of modelling is to illustrate a complete process, enabling managers, consultants and staff to improve the flow and streamline the process.
		+	The outcomes of a business process modelling project are essentially:
		+	*value for the customer, and
		+	*reduced costs for the company,
		+	*leading to increased profits.
		+
		+	Other secondary consequences arising from successful Business Process Modelling can be increased competitive advantage, market growth, and better staff morale and retention.
		+	There are no absolute rules for the scope or extent of a Business Process Model in terms of departments and activities covered.
		+	Before committing lots of resources to Business Process Modelling proper consideration should be given to the usefulness and focus of the exercise - ask the questions:
		+	*Does the modelling have the potential to produce gains that will justify the time and effort?
		+	*Will the modelling be structured so that people will understand the outputs (not too big and complex as to be self-defeating)?
		+	*Do people understand why we are doing it, and "what's in it for them"?
		+
		+	As with other management tools, there is no point producing a fantastically complex model that no-one can understand or use, just as it is a bit daft to spend hundreds of hours analyzing anything which is of relatively minor significance.
