Course Synopsis

To survive in the twenty-first century, organisations must become lean, flexible, innovative and customer-driven. To do this, most companies need to analyse and redesign core business processes. They must abandon old ideas about how organisations should be managed and rethink how to do things faster, better, cheaper—or whether to do them at all.

Business process analysis and redesign, also called business process innovation, can tremendously improve an organisation’s productivity, profitability, responsiveness and customer satisfaction. In pacesetting organisations, fast, efficient processes have become a primary vehicle to leverage intellectual capital.

Learn practical techniques for redesigning critical processes in corporations, government agencies and non-profit organisations at this valuable course. Get answers to fundamental questions about process innovation: what it is, what benefits it affords, and why it necessitates rethinking an organisation’s use of information technology and management control mechanisms.

You will leave the course prepared to begin business process analysis and redesign with realistic expectations and sound strategies that provide a foundation for success.
