Visualize. Collaborate. Optimize.

Is your business held back by slow, inefficient processes? Hidden inefficiencies in your workflows could be draining your time, money, and productivity. At Group50®, we don’t just analyze—we transform.

The Brown Paper Exercise: A Fresh Approach to Value Stream Mapping

Our Brown Paper Exercise takes Value Stream Mapping to the next level. It visually uncovers inefficiencies, highlights missed opportunities, and empowers your team to actively solve problems. This interactive, dynamic exercise goes beyond traditional methods to drive real change.

Why It Outperforms Traditional Methods

Paper-based mapping has been used for years to reveal inefficiencies—because it works. We've modernized this time-tested method to help you break free from the limitations of digital screens.

Visual learning is 60,000 times faster than text-based analysis, and 65% of people are visual learners.

In a single session, companies often identify enough process improvements to cover the project’s entire cost.

It’s engaging and fun—keeping teams invested and excited about the solutions they help create.

What Makes Group50’s Brown Paper Exercise Stand Out?

Speed & Impact: Expect instant breakthroughs that can unlock significant cost savings.

Identifying Bottlenecks: We quickly identify where process failures are occurring, particularly at handoff points between departments and technology.

Team Collaboration: We unite process owners, customers, and stakeholders to ensure the solutions work across your entire organization.

Real Results: One Quote-to-Cash project revealed $15 million in annual savings—a single example of how effective this approach can be.

How It Works

Map Out Your Entire Workflow: We visually lay out your processes in a way that digital screens can’t replicate.

Engage Your Teams (Hybrid or In-Person): Employees at all levels contribute their insights, making sure the solutions come from those who understand the work best.

Identify Inefficiencies Instantly: In hours, we uncover dozens of process gaps and redundancies ready to be fixed.

Create Actionable Solutions: Using our Business Hierarchy of Needs® framework, we ensure your process improvements align with your company’s most crucial objectives.

Sustain Improvements: We equip your team with the tools to continue optimizing your workflows long after the exercise ends.

Proven Results

A $25M manufacturer uncovered 160 process gaps in just four days, improving productivity by 30%.

A multinational company streamlined global operations, saving $15M annually.

Teams experience higher engagement, improved collaboration, and a clearer path to eliminating inefficiencies.

What Happens Next?

We don’t just leave you with a paper diagram. We turn your insights into detailed Value Stream Maps, providing the foundation for data-driven decision-making and long-term process optimization.
