BCS Modelling Business Processes | part of the BCS Diploma in Business Analysis

TCC’s BCS Modelling Business Processes course enables delegates to practice a variety of techniques for modelling and improving business processes and for evaluating the effectiveness of change. The success of business change projects is greatly increased by modelling the business processes prior to change. Modelling allows a common understanding and visibility of the current situation, facilitates the evaluation of alternative strategies and reflects the change to be implemented.
