Business process improvement lays the foundation for business excellence. Improving key business processes begin with an acute understanding of the process steps that give a business its competitive edge.
Participants will learn about the methodology of mapping processes and add value to those process steps. This helps participants to make sense of the processes and enable the reduction or mitigation of the process steps. They will achieve this through the deployment of visualisation and quantification tools developed during the hands-on session of the course.
