The Benefits of The BPI Blueprint:

  • See better business results faster
  • Identify techniques that lead to solutions
  • Develop team synergy before execution
  • Build leaders who sustain operational excellence
  • Inspire employees to make ongoing improvements
  • Learn where to simplify quickly
  • Keep moving projects forward effectively

“The content and description of this course was very appealing because many processes in Payroll and Benefits are data and systems dependent requiring consistent application of policies and procedures. Two aspects of the course— standardization and cellular teams— were most relevant to us. We do many things in teams; but, we don’t always do them the same way. Already, we are seeing results in standardizing our work processes and reducing waste. For example, we found that some of our teams calculated the company’s pay equalization for military duty differently, using slightly different assumptions. Together, the teams looked at the different methods and rationales, found common ground and built new standard operating procedures for everyone that achieved the best results for the employee and company.”
