PCM101 - Business Process Management and the Balanced Scorecard
Course Overview
Billions of dollars have been invested in process improvement and information technology by corporate America and the government over the last 15 years. The payback has not met expectations.
The key to solving this "Process Paradox" or "Productivity Paradox" is to link and align business process management with strategic planning so that improvements truly impact the long-term health of an organization.
Companies and organizations in both the public and private sectors that leveraged process or technology innovation to achieve business growth have discovered the processes that are most critical to fulfilling their strategic objectives and leveraged these to make processes true strategic differentiators.
