Summary
Process innovation is crucial to the survivability of a business. To keep on top of market trends, common practices, and industry standards, an organisation needs to have a strong focus on innovation. Without it, they are bound to quickly fall behind and be drowned out by more efficient competitors.
Process innovation is the process of creating and establishing new, or improved, practices within an organisation. This could be related to delivery, production, or support services. A variety of factors need to be considered when it comes to innovation, and if even a single one is overlooked, the entire process may fail.
To achieve the successful implementation of a process, a business will want to focus on process mapping. Processing mapping is the method of documenting and planning innovation from start to finish. A process map will include all factors and their influence, any potential issues that could occur and solutions for them, and what may be wasted through the process. There are different tools and techniques that can be utilised when mapping to ensure the innovation can be thoroughly detailed and understood by anyone it may concern.
While initially, a process map may seem simple, they do require a range of skills to be created effectively. Process mapping requires someone who is able to measure, analyse, and predict the future needs of a business and be competent in using the necessary tools.
- To understand business processes and their components.
- To apply process mapping, measurement, and analysis techniques.
- To define processes using a subset of Business Process Modelling Notion (BPMN).
- To assess different types of mapping tools and how they aid in process creation.
- To understand the importance of innovation.
- To diagnose the health of a business process.
- To utilise innovative techniques to improve business processes.
This course is designed for anyone who is responsible for innovation and process mapping within their organisation. It would be most beneficial for:
- Business Analysts
- Business Owners
- Operations Managers
- Project Managers
- IT Professionals
- BPM Project Leaders
- Quality Specialists
- Planning and Strategy Managers
- Innovation Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world process mapping diagrams to highlight areas of importance and recognise what information is ideal to include within them.
They will be provided with all the necessary tools required to analyse process mapping examples and later on create their own. It will allow the participants to develop a full and comprehensive understanding of the taught content and provides an opportunity for them to practice their physical skills. In group discussions, the participants will be able to share their process innovation and diagrams with one another and can offer and receive feedback. This allows the participants to practice communicating with others relating to their process, and help them identify any potential mistakes.
