Detailed Course Overview and Syllabus:

Develop the expertise you need to achieve operational excellence through proven methodologies and practical application.
Business Process Architecture identifies and systematically defines the set of major business processes of an organization at the value chain level and establishes clear criteria for selecting specific processes for improvement. Process architecture is the link between strategy and the practical design of critical processes that achieve business goals and objectives. It aligns strategy with operational work.

This course provides a two-phase method for business process architecture design: the design of the Process Portfolio and Process Architecture Landscape diagram, and the selection of processes for improvement using suitable criteria for defining process priorities.

You’ll learn to use the Strategy Choice Cascade to define the elements of business strategy, identify strategic goals and objectives, and distinguish between core, support and management processes. The course covers how to identify process relationships and design both the Business Process Portfolio and the Process Architecture Landscape diagram.

The course also addresses how to decompose the process hierarchy, structure architecture levels, and balance standardization with flexibility. You’ll learn to use process reference models, identify process performance measures, prioritize the process portfolio, select processes for improvement, and communicate the process improvement roadmap.

Case study examples are given throughout the course. You will work with real process scenarios, learn from actual industry implementations and develop practical skills you can apply immediately in your organization. The course includes a practical exam which, when passed, earns you a Certificate of Competency.
