Description

---

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Most organizations run on processes nobody has fully mapped, measured, or improved. Work gets done - but slowly, inconsistently, and with problems that keep coming back.
This course gives you the foundation to change that.
You will learn what a business process actually is, how to think in processes rather than departments, and how to diagnose what is going wrong before you try to fix it. You will apply a structured improvement method, define meaningful KPIs, and learn what it takes to make improvements stick through governance and documentation.
Every concept is applied to Vexteris Business Services - a realistic consulting firm case study that runs through all eight modules. You will see how the same process looks when it is broken, when it is measured, and when it is redesigned, watching one organization move from chaotic and undocumented to defined, owned, and consistently managed.
What you will be able to do after this course
- Define what a business process is and identify its five core elements
- Apply process thinking across departmental boundaries instead of siloed, functional thinking
- Classify processes as core, support, or management, and build a process inventory with clear ownership
- Diagnose failure patterns and distinguish root causes from symptoms
- Measure process performance using cycle time, throughput, error rate, and cost per instance
- Apply a structured four-step improvement method to redesign a broken process
- Design a governance framework that prevents improvements from drifting back to old habits
This course is the first in a three-part series
- Course 1 - BPM Fundamentals (this course)
- Course 2 - Process Modeling & BPMN Notation
- Course 3 - Business Process Automation
No prior experience needed. If you work in operations, consulting, analysis, or management - or if you are preparing to learn BPMN or process automation - this is where you start.
