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.

By the end of the course, students should have a foundation set of skills, tools and techniques for conduct of initiatives directed at improving business operations through process innovation.
