How does process alignment contribute to business value?

Process alignment significantly contributes to business value by ensuring that all process-related efforts are directly supporting the overarching strategic goals of the organization. When processes are aligned with strategy, resources are used more effectively, priorities are clear, and the organization can focus on activities that drive growth and efficiency. This alignment enables a cohesive strategy, where each process adds value and works towards achieving broader business objectives.

In contrast, generating more reports does not inherently create value unless those reports are aligned with decision-making processes that support strategic goals. Minimizing employee training requirements can be beneficial, but it doesn't directly tie to the effectiveness or success of business processes. Increasing the number of processes can lead to complexity and inefficiencies if they are not well-aligned with the organization's strategy, rather than providing added value.
