Introduction to Rapid Business Improvement

Optimising business operations through efficient process improvement is one of the critical factors in an organisation's continued success in today's changing markets. Delivering effective business improvement the traditional way impacts only a fragment of the end-to-end business process and takes a long time. What if you have a complex problem that requires immediate attention? You will need to employ a practical rapid business improvement (RBI) technique to solve such a problem. RBI involves a small team devoting 100% of their time over three to five days to analyse and improve a defined targeted issue or process. But employing this business methodology without a clear direction can create a disorganised mess that wastes time and effort. In this course, we will teach you how to use traditional business improvement methodologies to deliver rapid improvements to business processes within a month.

The course introduces you to the fundamentals of rapid business improvement, its benefits and its purpose. The success or failure of any improvement methodology depends on how it is planned. We will guide you through the stage of identifying a problem in a process and forming a team capable of delivering impactful solutions to the problem within a week. You'll learn how to map a process, collect data, identify the value and non-value-add steps and find the root cause for both big and small problems in the process. We'll help you understand the ins and outs of finding effective solutions, building a case presentation and selling it to stakeholders. In addition, we will walk you through the 8-step process for delivering a successful RBI and provide a wealth of resources and tools for you to use at each stage.

This course is ideal if you are short on time or want to quickly deliver business improvement. Your instructor, Robert Chapman, uses real-life case studies to help you understand the course better. Delivering business improvement effectively is a challenge for many organisations so they simply don't bother - at a high cost to them! This course will teach you how to do it quickly and effectively, giving you an edge in your career. Managers, business improvement professionals, entrepreneurs and team leaders can use process improvement to reduce waste and inefficiency in the workplace.
