Training Course Overview
Your business has its own structures, hierarchies, and a unique, often elusive, "culture." While you might be able to outline the structure, explain the hierarchies, and grasp aspects of the culture, understanding business processes is crucial for optimizing performance and managing change effectively.
This Understanding Business Processes training course offers insights into the business process perspective and how to leverage it to enhance productivity, profitability, and employee satisfaction. It provides a fresh approach to understanding what drives your business. Through an intensive "model company" case study, the course demonstrates how to apply the Business Process paradigm by analyzing both "hard" operational and "soft" cultural factors. This enables you to implement profitable changes within your organization.
