Enterprise Analysis

Creating The Context For Successful Process Improvement And It Projects

A Two-Day Seminar

Credits: 12 PDUs / 12 CDUs

Dates and Locations

How often have you read of a company that touted the successful implementation of new processes or technology one year and then struggled to achieve business results the next? Unfortunately, an improvement project executed to technical perfection will only have modest impact if it doesn't tightly target critical business needs. Enterprise Analysis is the collection of early project activities that capture the necessary view of the business to provide context to requirements and functional design efforts.
