TESTIMONIALS
Thank you once again for a splendid workshop. I can assure you, your teachings will
personally
help me add more value to my organization.
Shahid Osmani DBA (Business & IT), CPP®

I had the privilege of having
Steve Towers as my trainer when doing my Master Class in September. It
was great having a coach/mentor of his caliber, he knows the subject
matter intimately, he is passionate about what he teaches and has a
wealth of knowledge and experience in the BPM field. I was in awe of
his knowledge and his ability to disseminate the information the way he
did. It took 2 days for me to get the ‘AHA’ moment but since then it
has been amazing.
Jennifer van Wyk, Business Performance Solutions
The event was a stupendous success, you were just brilliant,
with excellent valuable insights on customer experience transformation through process innovation!

customer satisfaction. The speaker is immensely knowledgeable and
demonstrates vast experience in the subject.
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
If you are looking to improve your own professional skills in business process management and
