You’ve studied the As Is. You’ve identified the problems. Now you need to discover the very best ideas for change that will solve those problems.Be clever! Now! Innovate by next Thursday! … Umm, not so easy?

 Course Description

Innovation must be predictable; it can’t be left to chance. This 3-day course delivers practical advice and tools you can used immediately to generate great process change ideas. Stop relying on chance. Discover the 4 Dimensions Model of idea generation: Enhancement, Innovation, Derivation and Utilisation.

Whether you use Six Sigma, Lean, or some other process methodology, you still need to discover the best ideas for change. This course fills this important “idea generation” gap for all process practitioners.

  4 Dimensions Model

The 4Dimensions model provides a framework to force discovery of the very best ideas for process improvement. Enhancement is about making smaller changes, whereas the Innovation dimension looks for radical change. At the extremes of this ‘horizontal’ continuum, we enhance current processes or create new ones.  The Utilization dimension focuses on making the best use of available resources. To benefit from what has been done elsewhere, we explore the Derivation dimension. The ‘vertical’ continuum takes us from making the most of what we have to making the most of what others have done.

In all four dimensions we use tools and techniques specifically designed to discover all the possible changes leading to optimized process improvement.

  Who Should Attend

This course is designed for both managers and business/process analysts. It focuses on applying standard (PMI) concepts of project management to the specifics of a business process change project. This course is a must for business and IT analysts and designers involved in process-based change and the automation of process solutions. Anyone involved in any aspect of managing a business process change effort will benefit from this course.
