It is a confusing domain, riddled with acronyms, vested interests and different standards, especially with respect to notations for process modelling. Fortunately, some standards are maturing, driven by initiatives underwritten by bodies such as the Business Process Modelling Initiative (BPMI), the BPM Group and the Object ManagementGroup (OMG).This course is designed to give delegates the knowledge and skills required to accurately analyse and model existing business processes and to use these models to identify areas of the business which could be improved either through automating the processes using IT systems or redesigning a process to be more efficient. Much of the course is aimed at developing the thinking skills and mental framework for effective process modelling rather than merely teaching notation and methodology. Show less
