Implementing a DTO in the Service Industry – Virtual Workshop

Implementing a DTO in the Service Industry – Virtual Workshop

A 4-day virtual program showcasing strategies for enhancing resource planning, business process optimization and operational costing by creating a Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO). 

Overview

Developed and delivered by Landmark Decisions, this virtual workshop helps service organizations define the critical success factors associated with designing content to support a DTO. Using real-world examples and interactive case study exercises, participants come away with “ready to apply” tips and techniques to enhance process efficiency and improve operational, service, and/or product costing and profitability initiatives in their organizations.

NOTE: This virtual workshop is delivered over four consecutive half-day sessions (830am-12pm EST).

Learning Objectives

• Learn how to initiate, align, and sustain business process analysis and improved operational costing in your service organization.
• Develop firsthand experience building meaningful resource management, operational planning, and costing models.
•  Appreciate the value of planning in a collaborative environment to improve the long-term sustainability of the enterprise.
• Understand the role of technology using an illustrative DTO software, Collaborative Business Planning (CBP), for visualization, analysis and scenario-playing purposes.

Who Should Attend

•  Strategic managers that are tasked with charting the impact of organizational change Business Analysts.
•   Operational managers needing to manage resource capacity requirements for doing more with less while identifying opportunities for business process improvement.
•  Financial and resource management personnel responsible for resource planning, operational budgeting and/or costing and profitability analysis.
