Overview

Business Process Mapping can provide you with powerful techniques to visually depict progression steps and improve efficiencies.

As public sector organisations adapt at pace and scale while remaining productive, it is important to maintain simple and accessible processes. Organisations that build on lessons learnt will improve flexibility, efficiency and resilience in the long term.

Understanding the fundamentals of current systems and processes leads to finding improvements that will have the biggest impact now and in the future. Our Effective Business Process Mapping course led by Certified Management Consultant, Jonathan Bottomer gives you the capability to measure performance, identify problem areas, model current and future processes and validate change.

Through interactive workshops and tutor-led discussions gain the essential skills to confidently streamline workflows, map multiple projects at once and communicate visually to all stakeholders.
