Various factors are driving growth in the BPM training market.

Tony Saldanha, co-founder of Inixia and instructor of the Certified Master of Dynamic Process Transformation program, champions the importance of process excellence skills in modern organizations.
He believes it is time for process excellence professionals to seize the moment and revolutionize business operations. “There is recognition that the ROI for reskilling existing process excellence staff is much higher than with firing and hiring new staff. Great organizations create a deliberate reskilling strategy.”
