Certificate In Streamlining Business Processes For Improved Profitability 23 – 27 June 2013 • Kempinski Hotel, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai, UAE Course Overview This course gives you an insight into methodologies to identify and prioritise opportunities for improvement within the business environment while positively impacting the profitability of your organisation. This course also highlights the implications of different business strategies and the process of aligning these strategies with the operating framework.

Furthermore, you will be able to identify critical processes in an organisation and address them by streamlining these processes with a competitive business advantage.

With the introduction of a simple diagnostic toolkit you will be able to evaluate the performance of your current critical processes and identify those which need improvement; in particular, those which have a significant impact on the overall profitability of the organisation as a whole.

Having determined priorities for improvement, the course will enable you to plan a process improvement initiative by developing a Business Transformation Programme. You will also be able to develop a compelling business case for relevant stakeholders in order to gain appropriate buy-in for implementation.

The second part of the course will take on a more operational role. You will subsequently learn the basic principles of how to flowchart the process, as well as, learn techniques required for such purpose. You will also learn how to critically evaluate and streamline the process for functional efficiency. Finally, in recognising the difficulties presented by managing change, the course will conclude with an overview on managing business process transformation with the help of specific project management methodologies. You will be able to consider the softer aspects of the transformation process including the management of people involved, as well as, how resistance to change could be minimised.

This course will be delivered with a balanced mix of tutored and workshop-style sessions by a hands-on leader in this field of organisational diagnostics and business process reengineering. The sessions are structured to include several exercises and tasks to reinforce experiential learning, debate and experimentation.

Course Methodology And Assessment The training style adopted during this interactive case-study based workshop shall be through interactive open discussion, syndicate workshops and individual work, with a practical presentation style.

The assessment process shall be based on: • Attendance to all sessions • Self and group debates, and constructive criticism emerging from syndicate workshops and exercises • Interactive participation within the case study to demonstrated learning outcomes of participants
