Morning Workshops 10:00 – 12:00
Social BPM: The business world is all "aTwitter" with Social Media. But can such techniques aid collaboration in the workplace? Or is it just another contribution to ‘information overload’ and a new way for staff to waste time in pursuit of efficiency? The workshop explores how to make Social BPM deliver tangible benefits.
Integrated Compliance Management: For most businesses the regulatory compliance burden is increasing. Many companies respond with separate projects addressing each set of standards with content geared for the auditors. An integrated approach based on a single process model will reduce the cost and effort associated with compliance, whilst improving agility and embedding compliance in day-to-day operations for all employees. This workshop examines how to achieve this with Nimbus Control.
Shared Services Optimization: Executive buy-in to shared services is nearly universal. Yet many organizations have had only limited success with their shared services initiatives. This workshop looks at how Nimbus Control provides a platform that directly addresses the reasons most frequently cited for under-performance: governance, change management and stakeholder alignment. It will also look at how Nimbus Control ensures transparency, enables global operating models, and provides an ideal platform for continuous improvement.
The Role of the BPM Center of Excellence and NCIA: You have been given the green light. The spotlight is on you. How to you get the project started right? How to you get visible quick wins? Where does a Center of Excellence fit in? How can NCIA (Nimbus Control Implementation Approach) help? How do you get senior level buy-in. This workshop answers these questions both for BPM newbies, as well as those embarking on a global roll-out.
Lean Workshop: More and more organizations are embarking on Lean programs, or embracing Lean thinking, often in pursuit of a new organizational culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement. This workshop will provide practical insight into how to approach a Lean initiative and how a living Kaizen / Process Excellence platform can provide the process management framework to underpin Lean success
Financial Services Target Operating Model: For those involved in major organizational change initiatives, defining the Target Operating Model is a key enabler. It defines the intended future state of the organization from multiple perspectives: Processes, Organization, Customers, Systems and People. A task for which Nimbus Control is ideally suited. This workshop looks at how to do it, and how you can leverage the resulting model through the change program and into continuous improvement / BAU. Whilst the workshop is led by our Financial Services Team, the principles are relevant to all industries.
Afternoon Workshops 13:00 – 15:00

Branding & Adoption: Make your process program stick! Don’t allow your program to become just another application that doesn’t get fully utilised. Learn from the masters of marketing and communication - Carphone Warehouse. See how they now get over 6 million hits a year to their Nimbus Control platform and discuss new ways, such as using QR codes, to maintain and sustain user interaction and adoption.
Enterprise Software Upgrade / Implementation: Now-days Enterprise Software projects (like ERP and CRM) are more often upgrade or consolidation projects, not green field implementations. But business process clarity is still a critical success factor. All too often business process definition in the context of a software project is a heroic, short term effort with limited benefits to the wider business beyond go-live. A real missed opportunity for continuous performance improvement. This workshop looks at the role of Nimbus Control throughout your Enterprise Software Lifecycle, and in particular at the measures you should put in place to drive continuous improvement beyond the upgrade or implementation project phase.
Risk & Controls: How to Increase the effectiveness of Risk & Control assessment with Nimbus Control. The Action Management capabilities of Nimbus Control can be used to implement an effective Self Assessment regime, on-top of your business process model. This workshop shows how to do this. Whilst applicable to all regulated industries and compliance frameworks, this workshop will primarily illustrate the approach with reference to Financial Industry case studies.
Strategy Mapping: Every company has a strategy, but how well it is communicated and deployed so that every employee can understand it? Getting this right separates successful companies from the ‘also-rans’. This workshop will look at how approaches like Balanced Scorecard and Strategy Mapping relate to process management. We’ll explore how much of this to do within Nimbus Control and the kinds of complementary software you can integrate into the approach.
Frameworks and Integrated Compliance Management: Our recent research project conducted with APQC looked at different ways businesses leverage the APQC PCF (Process Classification Framework). The research showed that the reality for most businesses is a need to work simultaneously with several different frameworks, including compliance, supply chain and process. Each additional layer has the potential to add significant complexity without a technology solution. This workshop looks at how businesses make this possible with Nimbus Control.
