Business Process Modeling

Introduction:

Did you know that inefficient processes can cost businesses up to 30% of their revenue? Effective business process modeling is key to improving efficiency, reducing waste, and enhancing productivity. This course provides the fundamental skills to document, refine, and optimize business processes, ensuring clarity and consistency in workflows. Participants will learn how process modeling fits into the larger Business Process Management (BPM) framework, explore essential modeling techniques, and apply best practices to streamline operations.

Objectives:

This course provides the skills to analyze, document, and optimize business processes using process modeling techniques. Participants will learn to identify the purpose and benefits of process models, use hierarchy diagrams and value chain matrices to model enterprise context, set process boundaries, and create clear and structured process maps. The course also covers handling alternate process paths, refining models using standard notations, and confirming process completeness through validation techniques.
