Certificate in Business Process Management
About the Course
To remain competitive in today’s global economy, businesses need to redefine their processes. Existing processes are too costly, too wasteful and often irrelevant to their intended purpose. Business Process Management (BPM) provides the framework and tools to refocus business processes and achieve breakthrough improvements in quality, cycle-time and service while reducing costs.
You will learn the internationally accepted Business Process Model and Notation Version 2.0 (BPMN) technique which is an intuitive way to define, analyse and document business processes. You will also learn how to design and implement the information technology and organisational structure and culture required to enable new processes. Emphasis is placed on the seamless integration of processes across the enterprise.
The spectrum of topics necessary to effectively document, improve, design, redesign and transform business processes is covered in this six-month online certificate course. This course is aligned with the Business Process Management Body of Knowledge (BPM CBOK®) Version 3.0.
