The BPM Group today announced that in the first 45 days of operation of the BPM Learning System (the BPM Group’s online training system for business process management) the system delivered over 500 hours of Online Training to BPMG. org members.
In addition, the BPM Group also announced the availability of a new course, “Applying the Process Framework part 1,” bringing the total courses available in the system to three (of eight scheduled for completion in the first half of 2005).
This announcement highlights the BPM Group’s focus on providing the resources needed to help members succeed in the development, implementation and maintenance of BPM initiatives. “The online training highlights our commitment to provide members with multiple ways to engage with us in the pursuit of education and skill building in BPM.” Said BPM Group Chairman Steve Towers, “The popularity of the online training and our accredited classroom training shows that we are definitely delivering what the community needs.”
Online courses are available to all BPMG members regardless of membership level and are provisioned through the BPM Learning System that is an integrated member account service of the BPM Group website, www. bpmg. org. Community members of BPMG with full memberships are afforded substantial discounts on all courses. “We knew this was an important resource for our members,” stated Mark McGregor, “and the numbers certainly prove that point. Delivering over 500 hours of training in the first 45 days of operation is impressive no matter how you look at it!”
The first two courses present a comprehensive view of business process management in regards to the broad scope of business challenges that BPM can address and builds the background for the application of the 8 Omega Framework to address these challenges. With the introduction of the third course, the online training dives into the actions of applying the 8 Omega Framework to real-world business scenarios, covering the first four activities of the framework: Discovery, Analysis, Design and Validate. The fourth course (that will be released in February) will cover the remaining activities of Integrate, Implement, Control, and Improve.
The BPM Group online training "is elegant, simple, content-rich and beneficial. It should be considered by all businesses seeking to improve performance," states Doug Kirkpatrick, CEO of the Celestia Group.
The 8 Omega Framework, which was publicly announced in November of 2004, is a field tested framework for implementing BPM that includes the flexibility necessary for the framework to apply to all types of business, governmental and non-profit organizations. All BPMG members (including free memberships) have access to the free 8 Omega Framework presentation available from My Account on the BPMG website – www. bpmg. org. The 8 Omega Framework was developed by Steve Towers, David Lyneham-Brown, Mark McGregor and Terry Schurter.
