This practical guide tells you exactly what’s required at each phase, such as: Chartering and Staffing, Process Discovery, Process Analysis, Process Design, and Implementation Plan. Plus, modeling, analytical and redesign tools and techniques are explained so you can replicate them. And client examples provide guideposts; demonstrating what works, what doesn’t, and why. All of this enables you to keep your BPI Projects simple, structured and successful.

The methodology for The BPI Blueprint is based on Action Learning, which calls out for the best type of action – learning and working on your real project with opportunities for feedback and discovery.
