Course Summary
Process Management Mapping and Improvement is a systematic approach organisations employ to enhance efficiency, streamline operations, and optimise resource utilisation. It involves the detailed analysis and visualisation of existing processes to identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and areas for enhancement.
Organisations gain a comprehensive understanding of their workflows through techniques like flowcharts, value stream mapping, and process modelling. This understanding is a foundation for implementing strategic improvements, such as automation, standardisation, and reengineering. Continuous monitoring and feedback loops ensure that the processes remain adaptable and responsive to evolving business needs.
Ultimately, Process Management Mapping and Improvement fosters a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within organisations, leading to increased productivity, cost savings, and customer satisfaction.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Gain insights into business procedures and their elements.
- Employ techniques for process visualisation, assessment, and examination.
- Outline procedures utilising a segment of Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN).
- Assess the functionality of a business process.
- Implement methods for enhancing business processes.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for project management and continuous organisational improvement. It would be most beneficial for:
- Business Owners
- Project Managers
- Operations Managers
- Directors
- Chief Executives
- Team Leaders
- Financial Managers
- Risk Assessors
- IT Consultants
- Data Analysts
- Change & Control Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will see real-world case studies of project plans aiming for continuous improvement from start to finish. They will review a trainer-led presentation to discuss the best project management tools and understand how to present their project plans to relevant stakeholders best to secure approval and budget.
They will then work together on group projects to identify process pain points and plan for changes based on data analysis. They will conduct a role-playing activity to present their project plan scope and budget requirements to relevant stakeholders in order to obtain approval.
