Business Process Management (BPM) is emerging as a necessary discipline in order to ensure that interacting departmental processes support corporate strategies. As a result, more companies are focusing on defining end-to-end processes that enable customers, employees, and vendors to interact in a more efficient manner that delivers desired results. At the end of the day, all businesses exist to serve their customers. As a result, the corporate processes must deliver customer value, which ultimately leads to revenue renewal and generation.
XPM2 Process Design Practitioners are highly skilled in assisting our clients with analyzing, architecting, and implementing processes that optimize business operations. We embrace the notion that BPM is a critical business asset which must be instituted as a core internal capability, and which is sponsored by C-level executives. In order to ensure success, we also seek out opportunities to foster internal employee support, grooming individuals into process evangelist roles.
Our industry expertise includes following the BPM Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) best practices, as well as applying Six Sigma, Total Quality Management (TQM), and other lean methodologies as required.
