Picture Maps Provide Business Training Advantage
Oakton Business Institute and Talsico Partner to Create Step-by-Step Guides

A visual guide designed to explain specific company methods and practices is now being offered through the Business Institute at Oakton Community College. The Process Picture Map™ (PPM), created under license from Talsico, LLC, is a customized tool to aid in the training of new employees.

"Certified technical writers are trained to capture the best way to perform a process," says Linda Lehman, director of the Business Institute at Oakton. "These step-by-step guides are especially valuable in environments with language barriers or high turnover." Lehman said PPM training also helps companies reduce employee error and meet regulatory guidelines.

The Process Picture Map includes color photographs that outline company procedures, to be used to supplement job training. Other benefits of this economical service include reduced time required to learn a job or task and improve productivity.

Talsico clients include Pfizer, Westinghouse, and International Paper.
