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, Australia "Thanks again for the fantastic course and insights you provided." Sean Schurmann, IT Business Analyst at Vita Group Limited, Australia. After experiencing how powerful the CPP training was late last year I recently engaged the BP Group (using the CEMMethod™) to redesign an entire end to end process within our business. We had varying levels of expertise in the room, and in 3 days we had completely redesigned our process, which now truly focussed on the right Successful Customer Outcome. The engagement experienced was exceptional and all of those involved said it helped them to be truly customer focussed and engaged in their work. Chris Wix, Head of Business Improvement, Business Management, Business Banking, National Australia Bank, Australia "Just a short note to say thanks again for the course. It was a truly mind blowing experience and I will never think about process the same way again." Craig Reid, CEO - The Process Improvement Group, Australia "Thanks very much for an amazing course! You are a fantastic facilitator and I'm truly blessed to have you share your wisdom with us." Jenny Simpson, Senior Consultant, Business Improvement, National Australia Bank The program provided me the ability to apply all the learnings immediately after the training. Very effective training with a wealth of knowledge to share. This is a must training for everyone who's interested in making a process better! Maria T Ferreira AVP - Client Experience Process Improvement at Citi "Exceptional and life transforming. This training should be on every corporate agenda" Tammy McIntire, VP & CIO Pharmaceutical, Florida "I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the course and the book! It really helped tie together various concepts and practices I have been evolving towards over a number of years, crystallizing them into a simple but powerful framework." Steve Melville, Director, Oracle, USA. I attended the CPP Masters and it was a turning point for me in terms of managing and designing customer experience. The CEMMethod is pragmatic and one that can really make a difference for the customer while increasing revenue, service and reducing costs. In 2015 I completed the CPP Champion® level – it again exceeded my expectations and I have gained so much. I would recommend this programme to all organizations’ that are pursuing customer centricity. Kirsty Dare, Head Service Retail Distribution, Barclays The detail was very relevant and extremely well presented. Steve is a great communicator and spoke extremely well. Paul Botes, Standard Bank I just want to express my thanks to everyone involved in the past week, as I got so much out of our time. That goes not just for Steve and James, who both really helped me to think about process in new ways, but all of my fellow participants in the class. It was a great group, and I benefited from working with everyone there. Brian La Carrubba, Senior Business Process Analyst, Business Process Innovation, Great-West Life & Annuity, USA 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, SVP, DPSA I did the CPP 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. ...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. Stephen Nicholson, CPP–Master, BPM Systems (see blog) Excellent presentation, clear and concise.
