Statement of Need

Today’s customer expects nothing less of seamless and flawless processes. For managers and leaders in organisations, it is no brainer that the greatest source of customer complaints emanates from processes – how they are designed and executed. Behind the processes are people. It serves to reason that people can only design and execute what they know. How they design it depends on how well they understand the needs and expectations of the customers the process is designed to serve. No organization has ever or will ever register quantum gains and reputation without focusing on process efficiency and excellence. Faster, cheaper, right first time and integrated yield superior customer value, and this in turn translates into financial gains. At its most fundamental level, process excellence is about improving the way that businesses create and deliver value to their customers.

Which are those mission critical business processes that require improvement? How do you map them while keeping the customers at the heart of the process? How do you measure the process-customer expectations variances? What tools and techniques do you use for process improvement? How do you build a culture of continuous process improvement? How do you integrate processes so that they are seamless and flawless?
