    Abstract: This work focuses to support the improvement of post-graduate supervision process from the point of view of the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK). Previous work has studied the subject at the department level. Results have indicated that there is a lack of structured and systematic supervision for post-graduate students. Our work approaches the topic using a previously unused methodology. The goal of this work is to discover whether the targets of improvement could be generalized to cover all departments. The means with which we aim to achieve the goals consist of adapted method of process thinking and leadership management used previously in large-scale businesses. Our methods do, in fact, show that the problems to be solved are general to all departments at TKK and that problems in supervising post-graduate studies are independent of the area of research.
