Overview


This seminar delivers the foundational skills and techniques required to analyze and improve existing processes. It focuses on identifying opportunities for process change and presents the analysis, modeling and design techniques and tools required to improve business performance.

Participants will learn to scope specific processes using graphical models to document results. They will also learn how to define measurement techniques for evaluating outcomes and how to model as-is and to-be process workflows using industry standard notations and some new templates. The class is organized around a case study to be developed by attendees working in teams along with the instructor. The approach is practical and business-oriented. Attendees will be able to immediately apply what they learn within their own organization.

Special Note: This seminar is highly complementary to the material presented in the preceding class, 'Enterprise Business Process Management'. Overall the two seminars provide a complete methodology. However, the material in each class can stand on its own for attendees with specific interests.
