What does it take to run your business efficiently, even as workloads and demand levels become more and more unpredictable?

E-mail, spreadsheets, and phone calls aren’t enough to drive processes anymore – not in a global economy where business is conducted around the clock, seven days a week.

Leading companies know that achieving true efficiency takes agile business processes that blend automation, decision management, and real-time performance monitoring.

That’s a tall order, requiring powerful tools, approaches, and a commitment to process excellence.

How do you begin?

For starters, it pays to learn the proper habits. The culture of an organization is a collection of habits that have a powerful effect on business performance.

Driving long-term business benefit and success with business process management (BPM) often requires companies to develop new ways of looking at familiar challenges.

Join Michael Ficco (LinkedIn profile) for this educational webcast and learn 11 practical approaches to technology, skills, and organizational structure that will help you establish repeatable models for BPM success.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

  • Successful project delivery approaches utilizing process analysis techniques, iterative process delivery methods, and business activity monitoring
  • New ideas for growing BPM team competency across both business and information-technology stakeholders
  • Approaches to drive BPM across your organization and capture funding for a continuous BPM program, instead of a project-by-project basis
