Business Process Analysis

About

Go on a transformative journey with our Business Process Analysis course, delivered in collaboration with SAP Signavio, one of the biggest suppliers of enterprise software solutions with over 400,000 clients globally. This course will enhance your process-thinking skills, equipping you with the ability to perform in-depth business process analysis within international environments.

Throughout the course, you'll gain the skills needed to identify process issues, define business needs, and compile these into coherent reports usable by system engineers to implement process improvements. With the SAP Signavio tool, you'll dive into process modeling and simulation using BPMN notation, enabling you to analyze, optimize, and simulate real-world business processes.

The program includes hands-on learning in a flipped classroom setting, utilizing case studies, role-play, and active assignments. At the course’s conclusion, you’ll collaborate on a team project for a Czech-based company, producing a report with analysis and recommendations for process optimization.

You'll also master the art of presenting your findings to managers and stakeholders, making this course ideal for both business and applied informatics/computer science students. This interdisciplinary approach prepares you to bridge the gap between developers, managers, and process participants in digital transformation projects.
