Executive Breakfast Briefing - February 27, 2004

Watermark Learning is pleased to announce its first Executive Breakfast Briefing for 2004. Watermark Principal, Rich Larson, will be presenting "Improve Organizational Effectiveness Through Business Process Management."

The issues surrounding processes can be tricky and complex.

  • Process boundaries are often fuzzy.
  • Process owners are many times hidden or non-existent.
  • Functional divisions within organizations often don't coincide with the true process scope, making interconnections difficult.
  • Disagreements about the best way to perform a process abound, assuming that the processes can be agreed on at all.
  • Confusion about whether a work effort is a process or a project can substantially alter the effort and its outcome.

An organization's business processes differentiate it from its competitors. Processes constitute some of the most valuable assets an organization has. Understanding, analyzing, automating, and continually improving processes is vital to an organization's success. Inefficient processes can be costly because of wasted resources, unforeseen risks, and unhappy customers.

This presentation focuses on the key issues affecting business process management (BPM) and what they mean for project management. It explores how process management and project management interact and what their differences and similarities are. Lastly, the presentation introduces some of the best practices in process management today and a practical framework for organizing and conducting BPM projects.

Date: Friday, February 27, 2004
Time: 8 - 10 AM
Price: $10 per person, includes a breakfast buffet
