About the training
It’s crucial for any business to understand its underlying structures and processes. Organizations must be constantly adapted to changing conditions on the market. BPO (Business Process Optimization) is an essential method for ensuring this adaptation is carried out efficiently and effectively. This approach requires that business processes are recorded correctly and comprehensively. Key data are obtained for the BPO by considering things from the standpoint of areas such as process costs, lead times, know-how and IT support. This process then results in an essential foundation for measures of business intelligence and business performance management.
