Blueprinting helped me unpack and showcase an existing process and allow people to visualize the troubles of our users. It helped the business side create a new process.
—Principal Manager, Business Transformation, Government
Practical Blueprinting gave me the right language to get the buy-in from leadership and stakeholders. The template was easy and allowed us to externalize things that were boxed up institutional knowledge and collectively raise the business acumen for everyone. That was priceless. The blueprint became a conversation piece driving healthy conversations and conflicts that elevated the quality of collaboration.
