FINANCE OFFICIALS PARTICIPATE IN BPR
Twenty-two
employees from the Ministry of Finance participated in a weeklong training programme,
on Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR) on 23 to 27 July 2018. The programme
is aimed at imparting knowledge and skills in the areas of restructuring of
core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, cycle
times and quality of operations.
During
BPR, institutions start with a blank sheet of paper and rethink existing
processes to deliver more value to the customer. They usually adopt a new value
system that places increased emphasis on customer needs.
Institutions
reduce organisational layers and eradicate unproductive activities in two key
areas. First, they redesign functional organisations into cross-functional
teams. Second, they use technology to improve information dissemination and
decision making.
Attending
the training, Mr. Godfried Kandigua said “the training was very informative,
enjoyable and most very crucial to Government operations given the current
economic downturn”
Meanwhile
Mr. Sankwasa Mubita facilitator of the BPR training course urged employees from
the public sector to sign up for the programme in order to achieve operational
excellence at their institutions.
Participants
are expected to produce a prototype improved business process with clearly
defined improvement benefits at the end of the training.
