How to Move From Mapping to Momentum: The Full VSM Roadmap in Practice

May 16, 2025

Getting started with Value Stream Management is exciting — but sustaining it across an enterprise is where the real challenge lies. At Flowtopia 2023, two seasoned VSM architects from BECU shared how they guide organizations step-by-step using the full VSM Implementation Roadmap, from initial visioning to organizational alignment.

Why This Session Stands Out

Instead of showcasing a single success story, this session offers a playbook — showing how teams move through phases like Identify, Connect, Assess, and Organize. It’s about practical navigation through resistance, confusion, and change fatigue, with clear actions and lessons from the field.

Highlights:

  • Vision first, not tools first: Don’t jump to dashboards — start by aligning around purpose and outcomes.

  • Map to create clarity: Use mapping to surface invisible work, disconnected stakeholders, and value loss.

  • Adapt through feedback loops: Continuous learning isn’t just for teams — it applies to transformation leaders, too.

  • Organize for flow: Once patterns are visible, reorganize around the stream — not functions.

This session offers a reality check and a guidebook — perfect for VSM leaders, coaches, and execs looking to take their transformation beyond surface-level metrics.

🎥 Watch the talk to learn how to turn your map into motion — and your motion into value.
