Why bother?
Because paper lags reality
©2014 Kerika, Inc.
Paper lags reality• Traditional paper-based process
management always lags reality
–Distribution is an expensive hassle
• Process descriptions are provided in abstract terms or legalese
–Consumption is discouraged
• Cannot easily get feedback, cannot quickly make revisions
–Continuous improvement is hard

“Paper on Glass” is no better
PDFs on Intranets just makes the printing problem your user’s problem.
