FROM ADVANCED MASTER to CHAMPION
LEVEL EIGHT – Enterprise BPM Execution, Strategic and Operational Deployment

An Advanced BPM center of excellence (COE) is essential for organizations planning to adopt BPM across the enterprise. It has both a Strategic and Operational intent and provides a governance mechanism as orgnisations adopt ABPM and Outside-In. The evolution from functional/specialist (inside-out) to Enterprise wide and Customer Experience based processes (Outside-In) sees challenges in terms of standardization, scalability, performance and governance.

Ultimately the COE provides the means to mature the organisation beyond the industrial/information age mindset and embrace Next practice approaches. Advanced Organisations make real the mantra "The Customer Experience is the Process" and in doing so out perform those still locked into a 20th century, top to bottom left to right mindset.

This two day practical expose provides the approach, means and method to implement and develop a COE to ensure the enterprise is aligned and able to reap the benefits of Outside-In.

The CPP Champion has at their disposal the most comprehensive Strategic and Operational methods and tools available to ensure both individual and corporate success. Introduced in 2011 the CPP Champion will belong to an elite in their profession and is a vital resource for Enterprise and Outside-In transformation in the coming decades.

TESTIMONIALS

In 2014 I attended the CPP Masters and it was a turning point for me in terms of managing and designing customer experience.  The methodology is pragmatic and  one that can really make a difference for the customer while increasing revenue, service and reducing costs.  
This year I have completed the CPP Champion level – it again exceeded my expectations and I have gained so much.  I would recommend this programme to all organizations’ that are pursuing customer centricity.
Kirsty Dare, Head Service, Retail Distribution CPP Champion® ABSA, South Africa

David Mulovhedzi, DPSA (South Africa)

I did the CCP Masters 2 weeks ago and it completely changed my world. Since then things are going really fast within our organisation. The rest of the guys in our executive team are completely sold on the concept.
I am now taking the rest of the staff through some sessions. We plan to work on and optimise 6-10 key processes in the near future.
We are also:
 • Revamping our organisation structure to go to the "customer inclusive" model.
 • We are going away this weekend to re-think our business plan (which was based on old thinking)
 • We are actively considering getting rid of all our titles and silos in the organisation and only having "the  business we really are in" on the business cards.
 • We are completely changing the KPI model to only focus only on and rewarding for increase in revenue, cost savings, good service and most of all successful customer outcomes.
 • We have appointed a staff member to begin talking to clients and to start understanding and managing their expectations.

To be honest I did not think it would happen that quick.
Nachiket Gole, Chief Information Officer - PowerNET Computer Consultants, September 2010

...you've fundamentally changed the way I think about every process.
And inspired me to try Outside-In (OI) in all walks of life.
The first two levels should be included in educational curriculums (yes, even at the junior levels).
If everyone started applying OI, the world would be... where it should be.
Mahesh Mirchandani, CEO at BhumiTech
