On-site Venues
We also offer this course as a council-specific, on-site business transformation skills course. The costs, structure, numbers and format of the on-site courses (e.g. numbers limited to 12-15 per day) will mirror the public courses, the key difference being that wherever possible the on-site courses will be tailored to meet the requirements of the council-specific project.
There is a need for a fair and transparent prioritisation mechanism in anticipation of large demand - see our on-site section for further details on prioritisation and how to apply.
What is it?
The capability and methodology to carry out process costing as part of any business transformation is critical to your change programme. The course will focus on ABC costing as a proven methodology and practical hands on approach to help you identify, understand and quantify the costs in your current processes and help you quantify the benefits of the transformed processes. The course is designed to be hands-on and enriched with relevant material for operational executives.
