TESTIMONIALS
Thanks for your time and the fantastic course, delivered in Auckland recently. Looking forward to attending the CPP Masters in June – will see if I can bring some colleagues!! Neal Ross, Chief Information Officer at Konica Minolta Business Solutions New Zealand Limited
The detail was very relevant and extremely well presented. Steve is a great communicator and spoke extremely well. Paul Botes, Standard Bank
Brilliant Workshop. The speaker was awesome and gave great guidance on matters I am finding in the workplace. Cindy-Lee Muller, Planning & Roadmap Manager, MTN (Pty) Ltd
The workshop is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to simplify and expedite processes thereby enhancing customer satisfaction. The speaker is immensely knowledgeable and demonstrates vast experience in the subject. David Mulovhedzi, DPSA (South Africa)
I did the CCP Masters 2 weeks ago and it completely changed my world. Since then things are going really fast within our organisation. The rest of the guys in our executive team are completely sold on the concept. I am now taking the rest of the staff through some sessions. We plan to work on and optimise 6-10 key processes in the near future. We are also: • Revamping our organisation structure to go to the "customer inclusive" model. • We are going away this weekend to re-think our business plan (which was based on old thinking) • We are actively considering getting rid of all our titles and silos in the organisation and only having "the business we really are in" on the business cards. • We are completely changing the KPI model to only focus only on and rewarding for increase in revenue, cost savings, good service and most of all successful customer outcomes. • We have appointed a staff member to begin talking to clients and to start understanding and managing their expectations. To be honest I did not think it would happen that quick. Nachiket Gole, Chief Information Officer – PowerNET Computer Consultants, September 2010
…you've fundamentally changed the way I think about every process. And inspired me to try Outside-In (OI) in all walks of life. The first two levels should be included in educational curriculums (yes, even at the junior levels). If everyone started applying OI, the world would be… where it should be. Mahesh Mirchandani, CEO at BhumiTech
If you are looking to improve your own professional skills in business process management and business process improvement, then I would recommend the Advanced Business Process Methods and Techniques of the Business Process Professional programme by BP Group.
