Strategic business growth and process optimization for innovative leaders
A Business Development and Process Management Manager views a company from two perspectives.
Externally you analyze
- markets,
- customer needs
- and new business opportunities.
Internally, you examine
- workflows,
- interfaces,
- costs
- and organizational structures.
This allows you to identify which growth ideas are economically viable and which processes need to be adapted to support them.
If you're interested, you can learn at a location near you or combine on-site learning with our online format. You will develop business acumen, soundly evaluate business ideas, and design workflows that make growth sustainable in day-to-day operations. Current startup figures show that entrepreneurial thinking and structured process management are increasingly in demand in Germany.
- Analyze market potential and evaluate the economic viability of business ideas
- Create business plans and select suitable financing options
- Classify business models, legal structures, and locations
- Develop process maps and visualize workflows clearly
- Analyze and optimize standard and special processes
- Develop KPI systems and calculate process costs
- Prepare for the digitalization and automation of workflows
- Manage change and establish quality standards within the company
What aspiring process managers need to know about value chains, BPMN, and business model analysis
At the beginning, the focus is primarily on the value chain. As an aspiring process manager you recognize you,
- which workflows create direct customer value
- and which processes support leadership, organization, or administration.
A process map provides a clear overview of the interdependencies and highlights where handovers between departments offer the greatest potential for process improvement.
For detailed visualization, you can use tools like BPMN. This notation was developed by the Object Management Group and adopted in version 2.0 in December 2010. It is based on flowcharts and helps you map out processes in an understandable way.
At the same time, it remains precise enough to describe workflows professionally and develop them technically. In our business development and process management training, you will practice mapping process steps, responsibilities, and handovers in a structured manner.
Another key component is business model analysisA business plan summarizes a business idea in writing, including goals, strategies, market analysis, competition, marketing, and financing. It becomes a working tool for you to evaluate opportunities, test economic assumptions, and derive operational requirements.

Identify new market potential and digitize workflows: Successfully establish efficient corporate structures
New market potential emerges as soon as an offer meets a demand that has previously been underserved. As a Business Development and Process Management Manager, you will evaluate locations, competitors, target groups, and internal resources to achieve this. From this information, you will determine
- which growth steps are economically viable
- and which processes should be stabilized first.
The digitization of workflows also offers significant development potential. The Digital Office Index by Bitkom, based on a survey of 1,103 companies with 20 or more employees, reached 62 out of 100 possible points. ERP systems are already in use in 98 percent of companies, and CRM systems in 91 percent. At the same time, only one in seven companies operates completely paperless. Many laggards still rely on paper-based processes for large parts of their operations.
This creates an exciting field of work for youYou
- analyze workflows,
- identify redundant steps,
- and develop them into digital processes with measurable benefits.
Automation is most valuable when the underlying workflow has been thoughtfully designed beforehand.
This is exactly where business development and process management show their strength: Growth potential is evaluated economically, and the internal organization is aligned accordingly.
Responsible corporate development through smart business process managers
Every stage of growth brings new requirements. However, many of these can be avoided from the start. When you develop a business model, you check early on, for example, which legal form is appropriate, what capital requirements will arise, and which accounting or tax obligations must be considered. Insurance, permits, and preliminary accounting also provide a stable foundation for your venture.
Another important area is the conscious management of risks. ISO 9001:2015 requires risk-based thinking as a fundamental principle and incorporates both opportunities and risks into process planning from the outset. For you, this means carefully evaluating key performance indicators, identifying dependencies on customers or suppliers, and running through potential crisis scenarios early on.
In the business development and process management training program, you will focus on exactly these connections. Risk and crisis management, process cost accounting, and KPI-based management help you evaluate business ideas economically and build sustainable workflows.
Change management and quality management: Unlocking optimization potential for strategy experts
An optimized process delivers measurable results when people actively apply it in their daily work. For you as a strategy expert, this means that change requires measurable goals, clear steps, and regular evaluation.
A study in the Journal of Change Management examined the frequently cited 70-percent claim regarding change initiatives and found its empirical basis to be unsubstantiated. That is why it is worth looking at data, key performance indicators, and actual results.
Quality management provides the structural framework. ISO 9001:2015 utilizes a process-oriented approach, addressing areas such as organization, leadership, planning, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement.
The PDCA cycle helps you plan, implement, check, and subsequently refine your measures. The ISO Survey 2024 highlights the widespread application of these standards. For Germany, 45,983 valid ISO 9001 certificates are reported, an increase of 4,223 certificates compared to the previous year.
In our Business Development and Process Management training, you will turn change and quality management into a practical tool. You will identify potential in existing workflows, develop sustainable improvements, and demonstrate the added value of new standards to stakeholders. Documentation, process metrics, and regular reviews provide stability to your initiatives.

Scalable organizational architectures in a dynamic market environment
A scalable organization requires Processesthat are handled differently depending on the situation.
Recurring standard processes are suitable for
- fixed rules,
- automation
- and measurable efficiency.
Special processes on the other hand require more
- expert assessment,
- individual decision-making
- and flexible coordination.
By clearly distinguishing between these two types of processes, you can identify more quickly where standardization makes sense and where teams need room to maneuver.
Activity-based costing provides an additional economic perspective on your workflows. You can identify which activities drive costs, which interfaces create the most overhead, and which investments promise the greatest return. This makes decisions regarding automation, staffing, software, or process adjustments more transparent and justifiable.
Process mining expands this view by incorporating real operational data from your systems. The manifesto of the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining outlines three core approaches. Discovery creates an actual process model from event logs. Conformance checking compares this current workflow against the intended target process. Enhancement supplements existing models with insights such as lead times or bottlenecks.
For you as an aspiring Business Development and Process Management Manager, this provides a comprehensive insight into real-world practice.
You rely less on guesswork and more on verifiable data. This turns KPIs into a genuine management tool that shows where workflows can be improved, costs reduced, and processes developed on a solid foundation.
