Process Management for Managers

This course is designed to enable you to create a team of skilled Process Managers for your organisation, who are capable of managing and improving their everyday process performance.

Drive everyday process performance with our Process Management for Managers training programme. Delivered as a live virtual classroom event, face-to-face on-site, or a combination of the two, we work flexibly with the needs of your team.

Recognising Process Managers as being the backbone of performance excellence, this course will equip them for the challenges they face. Focusing on practical tools and techniques for Process Management, defining and measuring a process, maintaining performance, and managing continual improvement, this course will empower your team of Process Managers to lead business-critical process improvement.

Building around the basis of everyday improvement, the SMI (Standardise, Maintain and Improve) Cycle, your Process Managers will contribute to a culture of Continuous Improvement as they focus on both effective and sustainable improvements to their processes.
