Business Process Management
(BPM) for BAs
Presented by
Mark Monteleone, CBAP, PMPThis 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.
