Description

Well-designed processes enable value co-creation with customers and positive customer and employee experiences. Ill-defined or poorly-designed processes can have a damaging effect on those relationships and negatively impact an organization’s ability to realize its goals.

In an era that demands agility and the ability to respond quickly to changing circumstances, process professionals are increasingly shaping the future of organizations. This includes having the insights needed to identify the right processes to develop, reengineer or improve and to prioritize those improvement efforts in a way that is aligned with the organization’s overall strategy and its experience management activities.

This 2-hour workshop is derived from the 16-hour Certified Process Design Engineer (CPDE)course and introduces key concepts for designing and continually improving IT service management (ITSM) processes. Participants obtain a high-level introduction to the vocabulary and proven concepts needed to engage in process improvement initiatives, and then put that knowledge to work in a series of discussions and hands-on assignments that can be adapted to your organization’s needs and goals.
