Course description
This course provides an introduction to the principles, methodologies, and tools required to manage the processes, activities and reporting relationships in a process-centric organization. It is one of two courses that should be taken together. This course focuses on the development of a business process architecture and especially on defining value chains, process competencies, and process performance measures and aligning them with the organization’s strategic goals and available resources. The course relies on the use of business process frameworks and benchmarks to quickly create an architecture and a performance measurement system.

Who should attend
This seminar is designed for managers of organizations that seek to move beyond departmental process improvement initiatives and establish an enterprise-wide understanding of process and an enterprise-wide approach to process management and measurement. This BPM course is a must for business and IT strategists and managers, as well as architects, analysts and designers involved in process-managed organizations, process-based change, and automation of process solutions. Process stewards/owners, program managers, change agents and organizational design professionals will all benefit from the content and interaction.
