 Learning Objectives

Why this seminar ?

Today, many companies want to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and the quality of their processes. But how do you do this ? Is there a methodology to realize this ?

  Related seminar

This seminar is about the concepts, methodology, business case and organisational aspects of BPM.

BPM Systemen in de praktijk, May 26 (in Dutch)

Business Process Management (BPM) gives a clear answer to this question. Business process management provides an integrated look at the organisation, processes, ICT-support and people. Hence, many tool and IT vendors position themselves as a BPM solution. This seminar will give you insight in what BPM is, what it stands for, which technological components are part of a BPM framework and - last but not least - what is required to introduce BPM successfully in your organisation.

BPM is also the method and technique to measure the added value of an IT investment, both measured in Return on Investment (Euro's) as in Return on Relationship (service level), and to measure and monitor this in the future.

Which questions will be answered during this seminar ?

This seminars answers these and other questions:

  • What is BPM and what can you do with it ?
  • What is the role of process modelling and simulation in BPM ?
  • How can BPM be used to measure the added value of IT projects ?
  • What are the most important tools for modelling, simulation, monitoring and improvement of processes ?
  • What are companies doing today with BPM ? How do they do this, and what are their experiences ?
  • How do you implement a BPM framework successfully ?

(of course you can send your own questions to seminars@itworks.be !)

Who should attend this seminar ?

This seminar will be very useful for everyone who is involved or responsible for process management in your organisation, and wants to know what BPM is and what you can do with it:
