| Course Description |
Managing Process Innovation (MPI) explores the foundations of initiatives to improve the performance of business processes. The Course introduces a number of fundamental frameworks, techniques and approaches that allow processes to be identified, measured, assessed, enchanced and monitored. The Course is comprehensive and self-contained. As well as important theoretical concepts, MPI also covers a number of industry-standard tools. The focus of the Course is on business processes management as a domain of management decision-making. MPI concentrates on business processes rather than factory operations and industrial engineering - although the tools and techniques discussed in the Course apply to those areas as well. |
