Business Process Management (BPM) for BAs
Presented by Mark Monteleone, CBAP, PMP
 
This webinar is about Business Process Management (BPM) - the running and improving of a business via its processes. Mark Monteleone CBAP / PMP, the webinar presenter, defines and provides insight in the use of BPM by answering six questions:
 

·         As a business analyst, what should you ask for when joining a business?
·         What is the difference between managing a business by function vs. process?
·         Why would you redesign rather than incrementally improve a process?
·         Why should your process analysis cover a value chain rather than a sub process?
·         Why should you establish leading and lagging metrics to control a process?
·         What is the most challenging part of business process management, improving the process or managing the resistance?

Besides addressing the above questions, Mark will include a Business Analyst (BA) Quick Reference Checklist for conducting a “process redesign or incremental improvement analysis” plus explanations on various BPM terms and references.

Selecting & Preparing for the Implementation of a New ERP System
Presented by Tom Bellinson, University of Michigan
 
Your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is the single most important decision your organization will make.  You’re not just buying some software, you are creating a long-term marriage.  This program explains the key success factors in selecting the correct enterprise software system and how to prepare your organization for the arduous process of implementing one.  Several studies suggest that ERP software implementations fail at a rate over 50%.  What does “failure” mean and how can this ugly statistic be avoided?  You will learn how to take what you already know about your business and use it to catapult your entire operation by leveraging the tremendous power of a modern ERP system.
 
Topics to be discussed/objectives:
  
·         Why buying an ERP system is not like any other purchase
·         Why so many implementations fail and how to avoid failure
·         Using process management tools for requirements gathering and change management
·         How to avoid getting caught up in the vendors’ sales processes
·         How to ensure you’ve selected the right product and the right partner
·         What are the best tactics for negotiating a deal that leads to success
