BACHELOR WINTER SCHOOL ON
BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (BPM)
University of Liechtenstein, 27th February (Monday) - 2nd March (Friday), 2012
www.bpm-education.org/winterschool 
 
THEME
Business processes are everywhere. Tasks such as booking an airline ticket online, developing a new product, or treating a patient can be viewed as processes crossing organizational and technological boundaries. According to the analysts of the Gartner Group, the improvement of end-to-end business processes is the number one business priority of today's CIOs. Consequently, Business Process Management (BPM) has become a widely appreciated approach for the analysis and design of organizations and information systems.
 
COURSE CONTENTS
The course is organized by the Hilti Chair of Business Process Management at the Institute of Information Systems of the University of Liechtenstein, one of the most active BPM research groups in Europe. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary state-of-the-art in BPM. Classes are taught by BPM thought leaders from both academia and practice. You will apply the learned concepts and methods in case studies and exercises. You are expected to read papers and book chapters that will be assigned prior to attending the course. Topics covered in the course include:
- Introduction to BPM
- Methods along the BPM lifecycle
- Process-aware information systems
- Alignment of BPM with corporate strategy
- Governance of BPM programs and projects

- Culture in BPM
