Program Description

There is no one-size-fits all recipe for getting better business results. It is both art and science, requiring data-driven problem solving and out-of-the-box solutions to assure sustainable success.

Process Transformation will arm you classic with process improvement skills (SPC, Lean, Six Sigma) and creative redesign techniques so you are able to deliver both continuous improvement and breakthrough solutions for your organization.

Process Transformation is part of the Business Process Management Certificate Series, and it can be taken as a stand alone program or as part of the BPM sequence. Through the course of three modules, the Business Process Management Certificate Series will provide the tools and techniques needed to transform business operations. Participants will learn how to reduce costs, optimize profits, increase capacity, slash service times, provide a better customer experience, and compete through effective process management.

The instructors and the program are registered with the Association of Business Process Management Professionals International (ABPMP).  The Business Process Management Series is compatible with the Association of Business Process Management Professionals’ (ABPMP) Comprehensive Body of Knowledge.
