Yes, there is a good course offered through DePaul University, I have posted the link under web resources. It is not an easy undertaking and most process analysts are hired as business analysts by consulting firms. Also, if you are just getting into process management "The Toyota Way" is always a good read or re-read. I found it helpful when I was first starting my M.B.A. studies in getting me into the proper mindset. "Lean" is quickly becoming the organizational buzz word for 2008. There are also many good reads on client management, and as a process engineer it is important to understand that as you are working on individual processes to keep in mind the overall goal of the organization (which ideally should be client satisfaction), and how that process affects the overall needs of serving that purpose. In all the companies I have done process redesigns for, it seems that the hardest part is peeling back layer after layer of administrative duties that have been perpetuated by the numbers focus that plagues direct sales today and now binds the process flow. The reward follows in seeing an adaptive process structures serve client needs integrated where companies can now modify processes as part of the greater system shifting them and allowing them to maintain competiveness within ever-changing markets.
