infographic showing a workflow titled “One Process Model. Many Strategic Views.” On the left, an Excel-like process dataset table feeds into a central “Strategic Lenses” box containing icons for RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed), Automation, Risk, Systems, and CX (Customer Experience). Blue arrows extend from the center to the right, where five simplified diagrams illustrate different views: RACI responsibilities, automation levels (manual, assisted, automated), risk indicators, connected systems, and customer experience touchpoints. A “Works with Microsoft Visio” badge appears near the top.

One Process Model, Many Views (Pt. 3 of 3)

Leave a Comment • Visio Data Visualizer • By John Vines • 4 minutes of reading

Stop redrawing process maps. Maintain one dataset, render diagrams as views, and generate lens-based variants (value stream, governance, systems, automation) by reclassifying fields in the table.

infographic titled ‘Transform Static Maps into Value Stream Insights.’ It shows a three-step flow from left to right: (1) a static process map with a question mark, labeled as documented but lacking insight; (2) a table adding value type (value-added, business value-added, non-value-added) and work state (doing, waiting, rework); and (3) a color-coded value stream lens matrix highlighting bottlenecks, waiting, rework, and waste. A badge in the top right reads ‘No Redraw Required

A maintainable value stream map starts as a dataset. Learn how to classify steps (VA/BVA/NVA) and time modes (Active/Waiting/Rework), then render the lens in Visio Data Visualizer and quantify it in Excel.

infographic titled “Transform Dead Diagrams into Data-Driven Insights.” It shows a three-step progression from left to right: (1) a static process diagram with warnings like “drifting layout,” “hard to audit,” and “manual updates”; (2) a structured data table representing extracted process steps, functions, and phases; and (3) regenerated, dynamic views including a value stream map highlighting value-added versus non-value-added steps and a RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) responsibility matrix. Arrows connect each stage, emphasizing the shift from static drawings to dynamic, data-driven visualizations that can be edited in Excel and refreshed in Visio.
