Process Transformation

Discovering and Implementing Innovative Solutions

Employees are the catalyst for business transformation within their organization or department. Often times, people rarely realize it or acknowledge it. Many people have the unique role to make changes that can have an impact on the success of an organization ranging from insights they provide to directions for products, services or processes. This seminar will develop your awareness, knowledge and understanding of what process transformation is, how it can help your organization (and your career) and how to approach and navigate process transformation.

Participants learn to deliver both continuous improvement and breakthrough solutions for their organization using creative redesign techniques like Six Hats, SCAMPER, and Five Max to enhance classic, data-driven process improvement. It takes a strategic view to assess how your organization’s unique process strengths can create competitive advantages.

There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for getting better business results. It is both art and science, requiring data-driven problem solving and out-of-the-box solutions to create sustainable business success. Process Transformation gives you the tools and insight.

The skills delivered in this seminar can be applied in manufacturing, service, healthcare and public sector organizations.
