== How to go about Process Engineer Training ==

'''Program Duration:''' 10 working days<br>
'''Target Audience:''' Such a certification program should be designed for professionals with about 3-10 years of experience:
*'''Specialists:''' The engineering specialist that needs process knowledge, such as a Systems Engineer, Quality Engineer or Software Engineer.
*'''Consultants:''' Engineering Consultants (depending if it is an engineering centric organization).
*'''Architects:''' Process Architects (depending if it is an engineering centric organization).
*'''Managers:''' Process Managers (depending if it is an engineering centric organization).

'''Program Type:''' The ideal program type is to combine classroom training (physical location) with online training, depending on the size and location of the process team. The first week should be an optional choice (classroom or online), the second week should be always classroom.

The Process Engineer certification program should be structured in a way to build upon the existing competencies of the practitioner, but most importantly, with a main focus on developing new skills through the use of our unique engineering principles. The process engineer focuses on the design, operation, control, and optimization of business, application, and technology processes. They use specific engineering principles to enable better enterprise related processes.

Process Engineer training therefore focuses on the daily job of the process engineer:
*Construct and maintain the endeavor-specific process from the Process Landscape
*Evaluate process tools for consistency with the organizational process landscape and process lifecycle and/or endeavor-specific process
*Ensure that the endeavor-specific process should be constructed based on endeavor-specific needs prior to process tool selection rather than being driving by the early selection of a potentially inappropriate process tool
*Provide input to the environments team regarding required process tool support
*Provide local guidance and mentoring in the proper adoption and use of the endeavor process.
*Identify, document, the enterprise’s own leading practices, disseminate, and evangelize industry best practices and common best practices
*Work to support strategic process initiatives including recommending improvements to the organizational process framwork
*Support multiple endeavors within a local region
*Staff regional process help desks
*Present local training on process-related topics
*Research advances in process engineering (e.g., new software development methods)

The aim should be also to infuse the practitioner with a supporting process way of thinking, working and modelling with business processes. This should be done through 10 days of intensive classroom and/or online training, in-depth tutoring and coaching coupled with hands-on project experience, where the practitioner applies the acquired process engineering (see figure 1) techniques and its related disciplines to the practitioner’s own company projects.

=== Content of the Program ===
The Process Engineer certification program should provide the practitioner with an extensive toolkit and profound knowledge of the LEAD Enterprise Standards and Industry Standards as well as highly detailed and descriptive Process and Engineering Reference Content that links and connects directly to topics such as:
*Process analysis techniques
*Process Requirement Management
*Process design practices and concepts
*Process Decomposition and capturing in process templates/models
*Process Composition and capturing in process templates/models
*Process Categorization & Classification
**Process levels
**Process tiers
**Process nature
*Process Lifecycle Management
*Process Quality Management
*Agile BPM

These topics should be extensively covered in the Process Architect certification program. If you don’t have within your organization a standard for this, we suggest to get them from the book: The Complete Business Process Handbook Volume I, II as well as III. This will ensure that you have the right theoretical and practical reference material to develop such a class/program. The aim should be to deliver actual, practical and hands-on experience by using all of these disciplines in context with real-life process-oriented projects. This ensures the highest level of knowledge transfer and skills building to meet today’s organizations cross-disciplinary competency requirements for professionals involved with process-oriented subjects.

=== The Process Engineer Learning Model ===
The Process Engineer learning model (see figure 1) should be based on an intensive training module supported by in-depth individual performance mentoring on a selected project. The hands-on learning experience should ensure that the business process management and process engineering skills are applied within the following disciplines (see figure 1):

<u>The needed skill for abstraction level for a Process Engineer should be:</u>
*'''Conceptual:''' Theoretical, abstract and intangible - the high level description of the logical.
*'''Context:''' Situation, milieu/environment and perspective.
*'''Concrete:''' Tangible, existing and actual.
*'''Descriptive and specification:''' Explanation, depiction/sketch and portrayal often using a map, matrix and/or model.
*'''Design:''' Plan, intend and aim.
*'''Execution:''' Completing, performing and realization.

=== What you should ensure that your participants get ===
Such a certification program should include:
*About 10 working days of classroom and online training
*Estimated 6 x 1.5 hours of digital online sessions
*Individual performance coaching for project and individual development during the course
*Training material with practical and usable reference content (i.e. the BPM Lifecycle, process templates, etc.)
*Provide them a book: The Complete Business Process Handbook Volume I, II as well as III. This will ensure that they have the right theoretical and practical reference material.
*Make sure to provide one Process Engineer Certificate upon successful certification
