Great Process Owners don’t approve every request.

They protect the process by filtering what adds value… and what adds noise.

They say no to:

  • unnecessary steps
  • overcomplication
  • personal preferences
  • one-off exceptions
  • unplanned customizations

And they say yes to:

  • clarity
  • consistency
  • efficiency
  • measurable improvement
A Process Owner’s job isn’t to please everyone. It’s to protect the workflow.
