Process and Product Design
Processes and the way we design our processes, is the supporting element in any organization – or at least it should be. As the professor and process-guru, Edward Deming said: “85% of the reasons to us failing in meeting the client demands, is weakness in our processes”. In other words, when we develop or re-design new products or workflows, we must think process oriented to be able to create an effective process that actually succeeds in relation to the clients demands.
Process-thinking and process and Product design – it sounds simple, but it can be difficult to practice. With the right tools, strategies and the right knowledge it is possible to design processes with a thorough focus on the customer demands and strategical goal – so that we ensure a successful implementation of our new/optimized product or workflow. We would like to help you with this through this 3 days course.
