Feedback on Steve

"Exceptional and life transforming. This training should be on every corporate agenda"
CIO Pharmaceutical, Florida

"I took BPM training back in December, and Steve Towers was the instructor. The training was simply fantastic, because Steve has that rare ability to connect with his trainees. Not only did I walk away from the training with a new perspective on Business Process Management, but I walked away with an invaluable analysis tool."
Senior Systems Analyst, Barclays Bank

Create a sustainable operational and strategic method suitable for both dramatic and steady state improvements.
Apply process diagnostics to any existing process or service.
Understand and identify moments of truth, breakpoints and business rules
Determine the magnitude of the points of failure performance factor and causes of work performance factor of the process.
Calculate the points of failure causes of work performance factors then graph it on the maturity scales.
Identify actions that can be taken to improve the process.
Identify actions that will significantly reduce the process points of failure and causes of work of the process.
Identify actions that can be completed in less than 90 days (often much less).
Analyze the benefits versus cost (resource/time/degree of change) for each action
Clearly identify “low hanging fruit” – actions that require minimal investment versus return
Apply process diagnostics to a customer focused (SCO) process.

Understand Current and Future State Process Models
Develop a Current State Process Model – individual, team and enterprise wide.
Utilise CPP Level One skills (learned on Day 1) in conjunction with the Customer Expectation Management Method (CEMM) and the Advanced Process Management approach to analyse the Current State Model
Assess the Risk factors (organisation and customer) identified in Current State Modelling
Develop the Risk Assessment Profile against a matrix of the 8 key factors that drive performance improvement
Prepare a Risk Assessment Profile that informs the Future State
Develop and substantiate an Action Plan to mitigate risks
