Course Summary
Typically the root cause for BPM failures is not the choice of specific techniques, notations or tools. It is the failure to apply the principles consistently well. This one day seminar will focus on the fundamental building blocks of BPM from process by process analysis, design and modeling through to enterprise level process architecture and change planning. For those getting started this seminar will provide you with the knowledge you will need to initiate process transformation and management. If you’re already experienced it will provide an overall comprehensive framework to pull together the components of BPM into a more integrated whole that is repeatable and shareable. It is those people that can apply the baseline aspects of BPM who will excel and grow within them.
BPM in its various incarnations has been with us for over fifteen years and is now an encompassing practice acting as the umbrella for many other techniques such as ABC, Six Sigma, Lean, Balanced Scorecard, Knowledge Management, Enterprise Architecture and Organization Development. We have learned a lot during this time to make BPM more robust beyond its necessary and fundamental principles. This seminar provides an opportunity to examine some of the ways to enrich your BPM efforts starting from enterprise-wide process management issues.
