A company's competitive position and the success of its internal projects may be at risk due to immature business processes. BPM is an assessment tool, which addresses these issues by evaluating capability and maturity of a company's business processes. It guides enterprises on the path of continuous improvement, helping identify defects in daily procedures and increase operational efficiencies. In this podcast, Arthur Li, a senior manager at Typhoon Consulting, gives us an extensive overview of the key elements of the BPM Framework and introduces Typhoon's revised step-by-step methodology "Match-Fit".

Lean Six Sigma is a popular methodology introduced by Motorola in 1980-s and successfully applied by Toyota to develop and implement quality improvements and waste management in its critical production processes.

In today's podcast together with Arthur Li we explore how relevant Lean Six Sigma framework still is in light of the shift to digital transformation?
