Process Excellence: Innovative Approaches to Reviewing and Improving Business Systems
1Summary
Why do processes that worked well five years ago now slow a company down? Because work systems age quietly. Technology moves faster than most organisations update their internal processes, and departments keep running on methods that were never designed for the current pace of business.
This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy addresses that gap directly. Participants learn how to diagnose outdated processes, apply reengineering and continuous improvement, and use total quality management principles to keep administrative systems aligned with how the organisation actually works today.
