Reengineering Your Organization; A Roadmap to Business Process Improvement
Name: Reengineering Business Processes
Components: 2 Seminar Presentations
Duration: 14 hours
Regularly, we craft business plans and strategies. We upgrade our products or services. We even train and develop our people. And yet, we often discover a number of bothersome problems that crop up. A few examples: customer complaints, misunderstanding between teams, and stifled initiative and creativity from team members. These and other problems force us to devote time and pour money and other resources to solve them.
Business process analysis and modeling is an essential component of Business Process Redesign (BPR) as well as other business process improvement initiatives such as reengineering, systems development, quality management and continuous process improvement. The kind of businesses processes your organization implements spells the difference between efficiency and lackluster performance. Business processes are considered the internal glue that makes plans, products and people work seamlessly. Without the right processes, companies will be plunged into chaos. Unfortunately, there are some organizations that expect better results from using the same old processes.
In this workshop the participants will acquire the knowledge and skills to analyse and accurately model business processes at the enterprise level as well as the detailed workflow level.
Goals:
This course aims to enable participants to achieve the following objectives:
- Objectively analyse the process dimension of the business
- Accurately define the scope of a business process
- Develop an enterprise-level business process model
- Capture and map the details of an existing business process using a model
- Build an integrated model of a defined business process showing its levels of detail
- Obtain the information necessary to build a business process model
- Identify business process improvement opportunities using a model
Certification:
The candidates who will complete the program successfully will be awarded a ‘Certificate of Training’, stating that the Cyprus Human Resource development Authority approves the program
