Tactical BPM

120 Promenade du Portage *More dates added!*

“Tactical BPM” is the foundational course for those starting their BPM journey. It is a practical introduction to the world of Business Process Management which considers process modeling only one aspect of managing processes overall. This is BPM in the context of Business Architecture, a unique way to look at BPM.

If you’re just starting your BPM journey or looking to understand “modeling” versus “management”, this is the course for you. It introduces BPM as management discipline in the same way that there are disciplines for managing risk, projects, human resource and finance administration. Architecturally, it situates BPM in the business domain alongside other aspects of the business such as Legislation, Policy, Service and Organizational design. This course, sets the tone for other Business Architecture courses offered by D4Is Solutions.

Participants will learn about the history of BPM, and the key concepts, terms, methodologies, techniques, and governance of business processes. It equips participants with an overview of the full process lifecycle from discovery, to modeling, analysis, design, monitoring, transformation and retirement, and provides insight into organizational aspects of process classification, leveling, process operating models, process governance, planning and business transformation through process management.
