Improving Results Through Process Management

The Person who knows “how” will always have a job. The person who knows “why” will always be his boss.
Dianne Ravitch, Professor, Columbia University

As corporate budgets continue to tighten, an in-ward looking strategy is no longer sufficient. Instead, best practice organizations employ an out-ward looking strategy in conjunction with process improvement to drive results. This one-day practical workshop is specifically designed to provide participants with an understanding of process mapping and management and how to use this tool to improve organizational effectiveness. Participants will also learn the process of setting up work improvement team. The day will include case studies, interactive sessions and hands on activities.

Who Should Attend?

Senior Line Managers, Quality Directors, Training Managers, Organizational Developers, Operation Managers or those who are planning to apply benchmarking as a management discipline.
