Learn to Apply process diagnostics to existing processes, calculate causes of work and points of failure, and identify actions that can be taken to improve them. Develop a structured approach accessible by everyone in the organisation to enable immediate and significant performance improvements. Create a sustainable operational and strategic method suitable for both dramatic and steady state improvements.

• Apply process diagnostics to any existing process or service.
• Understand and identify moments of truth, breakpoints and business rules
• Determine the magnitude of the points of failure performance factor and causes of work performance factor of the process.
• Calculate the points of failure causes of work performance factors then graph it on the maturity scales.
• Identify actions that can be taken to improve the process.
• Identify actions that will significantly reduce the process points of failure and causes of work of the process.
• Identify actions that can be completed in less than 90 days (often much less).
• Analyze the benefits versus cost (resource/time/degree of change) for each action
• Clearly identify “low hanging fruit” – actions that require minimal investment versus return
• Apply process diagnostics to a customer focused (SCO) process.
• Determine the points of failure performance and causes of work performance process factors.
• Conduct the risk assessment on the business and customer including
• Identify actions that can be taken to improve the process.
• Review the various techniques and approaches to improving process (useful internal materials), and
• Understand and apply the Customer Expectation Management Method (CEMMethod) as an Advanced Process Management approach 

Develop the insights and techniques to align all processes with successful outcomes, and in doing so create the capability for the organisation to win the triple crown i.e. reduce costs, improve revenue and enhance service. Go beyond the triple crown into the Fourth Wave of BPM to way exceed the benefits derived from 3rd Wave approaches such as Six Sigma and Lean. Create the ‘game plan’ that reaches and convinces the Lead team for immediate success.

• Understand the concept of Successful Customer Outcomes and review recent case studies of global champions.
• Define Successful Customer Outcomes for any process, product or service.
• Create the 7 step action plan for crafting Successful Customer Outcomes.

• Develop the Risk Assessment Profile against a matrix of the 8 key factors that drive performance improvement
• Prepare a Risk Assessment Profile that informs the Future State
• Develop and substantiate an Action Plan to mitigate risks 

Understand and create the Process Innovation Landscape to completely redefine the way processes are operated. By alignment with Successful Customer Outcomes we will uncover the true potential of the process, and in doing so consolidate triple crown wins i.e. simultaneously reducing costs, improving revenue and enhancing service. Establish the right measures for continued success and integrate these into corporate measurement systems e.g. balanced scorecard and strategy maps.
