Value Streams transform inputs into valuable outcomes for stakeholders. A Value Stream represents an end-to-end series of activities that creates value, whether for external customers (like patients and communities) or internal stakeholders.
Value Stream Stages
Value Stream Stages are the sequential steps or phases within a value stream, each contributing to the transformation of inputs into valuable outcomes for customers, stakeholders, or the Organization. They represent distinct, interdependent activities that collectively deliver value as part of the overarching value stream. Each stage is characterised by specific inputs, outputs, processes, and performance indicators that define its contribution to the value stream's objectives. While Value Streams encapsulate the end-to-end flow of activities required to deliver a complete product, service, or outcome, Value Stream Stages focus on the granular components or steps within that flow.
