Applied Critical Thinker's ToolKit: Business Process Analysis
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training
This 3-day workshop is designed to enable teams to apply and extend the principles learned in the Critical Thinker's ToolKit workshop also offered by New Instruction. The workshop is grounded in neuroscience research, analytical thinking practices from the CIA, and business process analysis best practices. Attendees will experience an intense, immersive, comprehensive, "hands-on-brain" walkthrough of what is demanded of today's new breed of Business Process Analysts.
The experiential workshop holds as its primary objective, the equipping of participants for the challenging task of understanding human thought processes that lead to the actions that make up the processes that causes work to flow through a company. In addition, you will stretch your communication skills to better enable you to extract information from experts who have long since forgotten how and why they do what they do. This unique type of interviewing skill allows you to better visualize "what is" and open the door for "what should be". Strategically placed throughout this workshop are "Hands-On-Brain" experiential exercises that simulate the real world conditions the skills will be used within. This workshop will be comprised of 1/3 lecture and 2/3 lab exercises.
Who Should Attend
Senior managers, project managers, business domain experts, technical project leads, business analysts, customer support personnel, and IT staff who may be involved in a BPM initiative and want to experience greater effectiveness in their respective roles. Non-programmers and programmers alike will gain insight into how they and others think and how thinking translates into the actions that make up business processes.
