Business Process Management Foundation Online Course

📝 From Process Design to Predictive Forecasting

In this course, we discuss how to manage business processes, how they relate to the organization, and what external elements can affect them; we break down their components (process analysis) and put them back together in a more flexible shape (business design). 

What pieces of data to log in order to discover trends, patterns, and details hidden in the way the processes work (process mining), and how to represent processes so they can be analyzed (process modeling). And yes, BPMN goes here. 

We also approach rules that guide the way organizations do things (Business Rules). Discover what is hidden in the common idiom „a chain is no stronger than its weakest link (Theory of Constraints) and how it affects your organization and your activities. 

Modeling is next on the agenda. George Box, one of the great statistical minds of the 20th century, said that „all models are wrong, but some are useful“. Do you want to know why? We expose how you can use models to explore and explain processes and ideas. We also explore techniques to represent and explain business processes and data models.

We close this course by looking at estimation, forecasting, and theories such as Bayes‘ Law and the Power Law to provide you with tools to foresee the future and prepare for possible outcomes. 

Yes, we borrow these techniques from Business Process Management and Business Analysis. They are useful for adapting to change and improving processes for the benefit of customers and all parties involved, and they are a promising way to advance your career as well, whether you want to become a Business Analyst or broaden your Professional Success Toolkit.
