About This Seminar ...


This seminar provides a comprehensive, up-to-the-minute examination of the state of the art and latest trends in the rapidly evolving practice of Business Process Management (BPM). It addresses innovations in managing the lifecycle of processes. It focuses on the critical role that processes play in the alignment of the strategic objectives of the organization with what people do every day. It provides you with a set of reusable and scalable methods, models and techniques that apply to whole enterprises - as well as to specific processes within them.

This seminar is geared both to those with process experience who want to know what's new, as well as to those seeking to learn a set of pragmatic best practices packaged into a reusable BPM framework. The facilitated workshop sessions are case study based and are highly interactive. The approach will ensure peer-to-peer learning with other attendees in small teams.



What You Will Learn ...


This session is intended to provide a complete approach for managing business processes as enterprise assets and for conducting process change projects. You will learn about:

  • The latest in BPM practices and how they can work best for you

  • A complete set of strategic, tactical and operational techniques in a comprehensive BPM framework and method

  • How gain acceptance for the BPM value proposition

  • How to build a solid process architecture that can be the foundation for process stewardship and measurement, as well as for the introduction of process technologies and IT architectures

  • How to model, analyze and improve processes using consistent and repeatable approaches

  • To apply breakthrough process innovation techniques

  • How to institute day-to-day process management and governance for continued progress and control



What's Happening?


Relentless change and an increasing burden of compliance requirements are stretching the capabilities of organizations to their limit. It is clear that simply working harder is no longer an option. Only those with lean and reliable end-to-end processes will have the versatility to adapt quickly to change and to do more with scarce resources.

Unfortunately, most deal with these problems through point solutions that are unaligned with one another. The critical need is to conduct business process management at both the enterprise and process level and get aligned under one consistent framework and management system. A high level of competency in business-process techniques is therefore required. Managers, architects and analysts must have the ability to strategize, architect, define, understand, analyze, improve, and communicate knowledge about business processes for multiple purposes.

This seminar has been specifically designed to show you how to ...

  • Use an evolving yet proven and repeatable process management framework supported by straightforward yet innovative techniques

  • Assess stakeholders' requirements and relationships on a continual basis

  • Design processes and align them to business services and capabilities, technology enablers, human competencies, and governance programs

  • Incorporate learning, feedback and knowledge-sharing

  • Manage understanding, politics and commitments relentlessly to mitigate resistance

  • Establish clear-cut mechanisms and responsibilities at all levels for an aligned and measured process performance scorecard that is balanced and traceable to strategic intent

  • Exploit the potential of new technology and technical architectures



Learning Objectives ...


  • Attend the most comprehensive, longest-running and pragmatic BPM seminar in the world

  • Conduct process initiatives that are aligned with enterprise goals and objectives

  • Develop better process architectures that will last, scale and adapt

  • Understand the needs of process and enterprise stakeholders

  • Scope your process projects to be sure what's in and what's out

  • Practice techniques in modeling, analyzing and improving processes

  • Learn process innovation techniques

  • Build a practical BPM Center of Expertise



What Makes This Seminar Unique ...

It provides you with the latest practices to deal with real and tough issues. It exposes what successful process-managed organizations have learned about what works and what does not. It shows how real change management addresses all aspects of change concurrently. It is logical. It is practical. It is comprehensive. It makes sense. It makes you think. It works!
