Business Process Mapping (1 Day) - Virtual

Business Process Mapping

Overview:

All organizations seek the opportunities to reduce cost to help contribute to the success of their company. Often managers look for a quick score and even consider the elimination or reduction in headcount which can offer a quick savings, but a long-term loss to the company. Through employing business process mapping (BPM) at the organization we can reduce the non-value added task, reduce cycle time, increasing productivity, increase operational efficiency, decrease risk, increase customer satisfaction and allows the retention of staff to employ on greater program initiatives.

The session will show the participants how to implement and conduct an inhouse process review which will be both better for the company and save far more money than a simple headcount reduction. All participants will learn:

5) to create a transformational model,

6) fill in pre-designed form for a process map, evaluation matrix, a cost profile analysis, and a priority action plan,

8) how to report savings to management,

9) to reengineer the business process for cost savings and operational efficiencies,
