To maintain competitiveness in local and international markets, it is increasingly essential to formally manage your business processes. This course explores the need for a business process focus, the essential steps for process management, and the critical success factors for making the effort successful. It provides a practical framework for understanding processes, the use and development of metrics to manage processes, and describes the role of the Process Owner. Presented in a methodology-neutral way, participants can easily apply the knowledge and skills to any environment, and use the techniques immediately upon leaving class. This course provides the foundation for other courses in the Business Process Management (BPM) certificate.

Testimonials

"The exercises were the most helpful. I've had limited exposure to process analysis and I appreciated the case study and the chance to go through the fishbone exercise. I also liked the descriptions of the other tools for documenting and analyzing processes, and feel better equipped to function in my role as a process associate."

"I've been accustomed to attending courses in person in a classroom setting and didn't think I'd like a virtual course. My experience with the Watermark virtual course was very positive and now I'm much more open to virtual classes as a learning medium. The courses always reinforce existing processes and introduce new ways of thinking of the same things."
