Process design - analyse processes, identify improvements, raise potentials

What is the course about?

In many organizations processes play an important role. However, structured and targeted work on processes is not always the case!

My course is about how you can design processes in such a way that they become even more customer-oriented and efficient. In simple and practical instructions you will learn how to analyze processes comprehensively, identify improvement approaches completely, quantify potentials plausibly and implement measures effectively.

The course comprises six chapters:

The first chapter provides an introduction to important definitions and pitfalls in process work. It also explains how a useful process map can look like.

The second chapter covers not only the procedure for process analysis but also various systematics for process modeling (e.g. flowcharts, BPMN 2.0, value stream analysis, etc.)

The third chapter presents a checklist for identifying improvement approaches. It classifies concepts such as Lean Management, Agile Management or Outsourcing and explains the "essence" of them: the principles of process improvement.

In the fourth chapter, two specific examples are used to show how the benefits of process improvements can be estimated as plausibly as possible.

The fifth chapter deals with change management, the "hardness degree" system or process controlling tools, how a sustainable implementation of measures to improve processes can succeed.

Finally, the sixth chapter gives an outlook on further fields of action in process management with a process maturity model. It also contains tips on how to anchor process management in an organization.
