If you are wondering how to focus your BPM efforts this course is for you. Process modeling can take 6 months and the analysis another 6 months after that. But it doesn’t have to. This course demonstrates a structured approach that gets results faster and more effectively. You will learn how to find and work with a sponsor, how to use two guiding lights to keep you on track with your improvement objectives, and how to get the right cross-functional team to participate and work toward a common goal. This course is a learning laboratory where you will practice mapping your as-is process, selecting the right analysis tools for your efforts, and redesigning an improved to-be process using 17 critical rules – and how computer simulation will help you in your recommendations. This structured approach will accelerate your BPM effort and significantly increase the likelihood of successful implementation. The approach focuses your efforts and lets you know what is required for every process, what the specific needs are for your process, and what is just nice to have.

This course is oriented to individuals or teams who will be engaged in modeling and analyzing processes in their organization. It is closely aligned with other BPM Institute offerings in process modeling, measurement, analysis and design. Today, use of software tools is essential for sharing, preserving, and reusing the maps and analyses you create, and for aligning business and IT. We provide a tool with the training, and use it in hands-on exercises in class.
