Course Summary
Process innovation is crucial to a business's survival. To keep up with market trends, common practices, and industry standards, an organisation needs to have a strong focus on innovation. Without it, it is bound to quickly fall behind and be drowned out by more efficient competitors.
Process innovation is the process of creating and establishing new or improved practices within an organisation. These practices could relate to delivery, production, or support services. Various factors must be considered when it comes to innovation, and if even a single one is overlooked, the entire process may fail.
To successfully implement a process, a business will want to focus on process mapping. Process mapping is the method of documenting and planning innovation from start to finish. A process map will include all factors and their influence, any potential issues that could occur and solutions for them, and what may be wasted through the process. Different tools and techniques can be utilised when mapping to ensure the innovation can be thoroughly detailed and understood by anyone it may concern.
While process maps may initially seem simple, they do require a range of skills to be created effectively. Process mapping requires someone who can measure, analyse, and predict a business's future needs and is competent in using the necessary tools.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand business processes and their components.
- Apply process mapping, measurement, and analysis techniques.
- Define processes using a subset of Business Process Modelling Notion (BPMN).
- Assess different types of mapping tools and how they aid in process creation.
- Understand the importance of innovation.
- Diagnose the health of a business process.
- Utilise innovative techniques to improve business processes.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for innovation and process mapping within their organisation. It would be most beneficial for:
- Business Analysts
- Business Owners
- Operations Managers
- Project Managers
- IT Professionals
- BPM Project Leaders
- Quality Specialists
- Planning and Strategy Managers
- Innovation Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world process mapping diagrams to highlight areas of importance and recognise what information is ideal to include within them.
They will be provided with all the necessary tools to analyse process mapping examples and later create their own. It will allow the participants to develop a full and comprehensive understanding of the taught content and provide an opportunity for them to practice their physical skills. In group discussions, the participants will be able to share their process innovations and diagrams with one another and can offer and receive feedback. This allows the participants to practice communicating with others about their process, and help them identify any potential mistakes.
