The objectives of BPO are to:

Enable agility across multiple dimensions of business and IT in order to be able to manage and incorporate critical changes in business and technology.
Assist in making trade-offs between agility and effectiveness or efficiency as required
Gain the ability to handle and manage complexity in the face of continuous change, including predictable and unpredictable variation.
Optimize business architecture and service delivery under unpredictable market or business shifts and trends

Business performance is ultimately measured by a comparison of track record with existing scorecards, balance sheets, or key performance indicators (KPIs). Instead of focusing on solutions design, we recommend refocusing on business process optimization and design, which incorporates unanticipated and predictable variations within the business systems.

BPO is a systematic approach that emphasizes repeatability and replaces heroic efforts and one-time improvements. BPO shifts the focus from mostly business strategy to a combination of business innovation or continuous improvement opportunity, rather than solely requirements gathering or process modeling. The emphasis in BPO is on comprehensive change – not on incrementally improving systems or processes, but re-engineering the business to realize gains through emerging technology exploitation and process innovation activities. BPO identifies and enables structural changes in organizations that are necessary for innovation, improved customer business outcomes, or both.

We define business agility as the collective management of the capabilities and resources allowing a business to continuously transform in order to achieve its business outcomes, and to be predictive, flexible, responsive, and launch business initiatives in times of change and uncertainty. BPO makes this possible using methods and tools to ensure that you are focusing on business performance in which business agility is not only what you do but what you become.

Lean, Six Sigma (LSS) and other proven BPO improvement principles, practices and tools will be featured during the training. The final day of the course will conclude with detailed case studies to ensure participants leave with a solid understanding of BPO methods to utilize when they return
to back to their home work environment.

The primary course focus will be on Business Process Optimization (BPO) as a robust strategy for business agility to enable rapid continuous improvement, cost reduction and resource management. BPO complements Operational Compliance requirements and International Standard compliance as a method to control business security and standardize performance. This course will be non-prescriptive regarding the utilization of specific tool suites and operating systems.

The course can be tailored to a client’s specific industry (as needed) and adapted to the level of performance improvement experience of the delegates.

Globally accepted best practices will be used for certification purposes.
