Overview
In an increasingly complex and volatile business environment, efficient business processes are core to an organisation and its business partners in order to accomplish organisational goals. Managing business processes is vital to the designing and managing of organisations. This unit introduces you to the concepts of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow within organisations. More specifically, this unit outlines concepts, methodologies and phases of BPM, with applicability to a wide range of domains. During the term, you are required to apply techniques to assess and recommend organisational processes. In addition, you will evaluate current business processes and propose improvements that align with organisational strategy. This unit provides you with the skills required to develop a report that: defines and models streamlined business processes; recommends improvements and sustainable practices; and identifies potential organisational change issues.

Feedback from Unit Coordinator's Reflection
Self and peer assessment encourages students to reflect on their own contributions while also providing structured feedback on the work of their peers.
Introduce a small self and peer assessment component within the group assessment to promote accountability and reflection.
Feedback from Unit Coordinator and Teaching Team's Reflection
The current e-portfolio tool (Portfolium) is being phased out. Explore alternatives that support ePortfolio development and alignment with assessment requirements.
Investigate alternative platforms (such as PebblePad, Mahara, or LMS-integrated ePortfolio tools) to ensure continuity of student portfolio activities.
