What if there was a way to stop spinning your wheels on disconnected improvement initiatives and start driving real, measurable business results? We've all been there—pouring energy into customer alignment projects, data analytics initiatives, and training programs, each living in its own silo. These efforts are valuable, but here's the catch: when optimization happens in isolation, you risk missing the forest for the trees. Individual wins don't always translate to organizational success. Enter business process discipline—your secret weapon for connecting the dots. This isn't just another methodology to add to your toolkit. It's the unifying framework that synchronizes all your improvement efforts while keeping your eye on what truly matters: enhanced overall performance. Think of it as the conductor that turns individual instruments into a symphony. Join us as Sasha Aganova reveals the key techniques that will elevate your effectiveness and shares the critical success factors for advancing process maturity in your organization. Whether you're a seasoned BA or just beginning your journey, you'll walk away with practical insights you can apply immediately. Presented by: Sasha Aganova, Managing Partner at Process Renewal Group, University Lecturer at University of Toronto, EA & BPM Best Practice Europe Award Judge | Wednesday. April 15, 2026 | 6 PM EDT | Virtual event | Hosted by Bluegrass IIBA Chapter
