Hi,
Ok, we know you have processes in your office that are a real pain.
Somehow, they seem to take way longer than they should, involve a whole
lot of unnecessary work (how many signatures does one piece of paper
need?) and result in a suboptimal result (what's supposed to help
students turns into a red tape nightmare that helps no one.). You'd
like to stand up and scream, 'Stop the madness!' or even better come up
with a way that gets everyone on board for real change.
At our next meeting, we'll learn how to do just that. Shelly Sweet who
has years of experience doing business process change on campus will
lead our workshop. She'll teach us how to identify the specific parts
of our processes that create the madness so that we can come up with
actionable plans to address them. So come to the meeting with a
process you'd like to de-pain and we'll help you do it.
A word about our speaker: Many of you know Shelly from the process
improvement courses she teaches on campus and at the Berkeley
Extension. What you may not know is that she isthe Founder and
President of I_4 Process and a highly respected Business Process
Management practitioner. Her programs are based on a unique 3-PEAT
method of modeling processes and analyzing data that accelerates
operational improvements, and builds leaders and employees who can
continually improve their processes. She is the author of _The BPI
Blueprint:A Step-By- Step Guide to Make Your Business Process
Improvement Projects Simple, Structured and Successful. _Her other
clients include the UC Office of the President, Santa Clara County,
Cisco, Oracle, Merck, Chevron and Bank of America.
Time: Monday, May 18 from Noon to 1:30
Place: 200C Warren Hall
Online: Since this is a hands on workshop, we encourage you to come to

trying to set up an online presence. If we are able to do it, we will
send out an email before the meeting.
See you at the meeting,
Judy (on behalf of the Agile Organizing Committee)
