Managing Business Processes Course Outline
Understanding “how the work works” is the first step in knowing what can be done better, faster and more efficiently. This two day Managing Business Processes course will give you the tools and techniques to examine your business from the customer’s perspective (internal or external); to see where what you do adds value and where errors and inefficiency get in the way of improvement.
The course builds from an understanding of the elements of business processes and provides you with a methodology for mapping how your own processes work; where they interact with each other and the elements outside of your control.
You will progress to recognising where the “pinch points” are that cause you to re-work elements or where you wait for information or actions to take place before you can proceed.
Most importantly, when you have analysed what the problems are, you need to be able to make a compelling business case to change the way the business works.
You will have the opportunity to work in small groups, applying theory to case studies based on real life situations. This is a fully interactive programme with the minimum of “lecture” style and the maximum of “hands on” application.
