Introduction to Process Mapping using BPMN Course

The Case Study Approach

The Harvard School of Business pioneered the case study approach and we have used it with considerable success in delivering our Process Mapping using BPMN course.

With this approach, the theory is reinforced through actual use of a practical, business oriented case study.  Participants immediately apply what they are learning.
