Today Metastorm announced that its Lean webinar series is now open for registration.

The modern day Lean does not have to be about formal methodologies – the new Lean is about productivity, efficiency and competitive advantage. It is about doing business smarter and faster by squeezing out underutilized resources and eliminating time wasters. The new Lean applies to every industry, and it is becoming a top agenda item for CIOs everywhere. Metastorm’s Lean webinar series is designed to empower organizations to “get Lean” with enterprise architecture (EA), business process analysis (BPA) and business process management (BPM) to help cut costs, improve productivity and lower risk in smart ways that will enable them to gain a competitive advantage now, and to accelerate success in the future.

The following are featured in Metastorm’s Lean webinar series:

Session1: 6:00am PT/9:00am ET/2:00pm GMT
Session 2: 10:00am PT/ 1:00pm ET/ 6:00pm GMT

To get Lean, you need to know where the fat is, and therefore where you have opportunities to be more efficient and productive. But where do you start when your organization is comprised of literally hundreds or thousands of business processes? Business process analysis software provides built-in expertise and algorithms to zero in on the best and worst areas of your processes and simulate changes that will deliver better results – no PhD required! This webinar will explore how packaged BPA software can give you the insight you need to make effective process changes that take into account all dependencies and a variety of objectives – including cost, time and profit.

Are your goals out of sync with reality? Is the business out of sync with IT? Failing to align strategy with execution and difficulty aligning business and IT are two of the most fundamental issues standing in the way of optimizing organizational productivity, efficiency and performance. To truly “get Lean,” you need greater visibility into and collaboration on what matters most. Learn from industry experts who have successfully used EA, BPA and BPM software together to bridge these gaps – with significant improvements in the business.
