Tasks such as booking an airline ticket online, developing a new product, or treating a patient can be viewed as processes crossing organizational and technological boundaries. According to the analysts of the Gartner Group, the improvement of end-to-end business processes is the number one business priority of today's CIOs. Consequently, Business Process Management (BPM) has become a widely appreciated approach for the analysis and design of organizations and information systems. In 2018, for the second time the winter school will also focus on Data Science and therefore on getting to know methodological competences for turning information into competitive advantage and innovation. COURSE CONTENT The course is organized by the Hilti Chair of Business Process Management at the Institute of Information Systems of the University of Liechtenstein, one of the most active BPM and Data Science research groups in Europe. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary state-of-the-art in BPM and Data Science. Classes are taught by BPM and Data Science thought leaders from both academia and practice. You will apply the learned concepts and methods in case studies and exercises. You are expected to read papers and book chapters that will be assigned prior to attending the course. Topics covered in the course include: - Introduction to BPM & Data Science - Methods for BPM & Data Science - Best Practice Examples for BPM & Data Science - BPM: Alignment, Governance and Human Factors - Data Science: Decision Theory, Technologies and Algorithms IMPORTANT DATES - Early bird registration: 8th December, 2017 - Registration deadline: 19th January, 2018 - Winter School: 18th – 23th February, 2018 PREREQUISITES The Winter School is especially targeted at Bachelor students.
