Business Process Improvement Workshop < Back
Date(s):   09/22/2010 to 09/24/2010  
Time: All Day  
Location: Dallas, Texas  
The Business Process Improvement (BPI) workshop is based on the premise that it is an organization’s business processes that create and deliver value. Workshop participants will discover and learn a set of principles and guidelines to increase that value and provide it more quickly to customers. The skills participants learn during the workshop will accelerate their professional development, and help reduce the time it takes to achieve meaningful results upon returning to the workplace.
