INTRO TO PROCESS MODELLING WITH BPMN: A PRACTICAL INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP

Understand how work really happens — and learn how to model it clearly.

Process mapping and process modelling are essential skills for understanding, documenting, and improving how work is performed within an organisation. This introductory workshop provides a practical, hands-on introduction to these techniques, with a clear focus on Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN).

You’ll learn how everyday business activities can be translated into clear visual models that show:

  • The flow of work
  • Decision points
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Interactions across teams and systems

The session starts with simple process mapping to capture how work currently happens, then introduces BPMN as a structured, standardised way to model processes accurately and consistently.

This is not a theory-heavy course. It is a practical orientation designed to help you understand what BPMN is, why it is used, and how to read and create basic BPMN models.

What This Workshop Covers

In this 2-hour session, participants will:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to interpret basic BPMN diagrams and create simple process models with confidence.

Why This Workshop Matters

Organisations rely on well-defined processes to manage change, reduce risk, and support digital transformation. When processes are unclear or poorly documented, misunderstandings increase, rework grows, and change initiatives struggle. This workshop gives participants a clear, practical entry point into process thinking and BPMN, helping them:
  • Make sense of complex workflows
  • Ask better questions about how work is done
  • Communicate processes more clearly across teams
It is designed to build awareness and confidence, not overwhelm with notation rules or advanced modelling techniques.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is designed for beginners who want an introduction to process modelling using BPMN, including:
No prior experience in BPMN or formal process modelling is required.

It is the first step for anyone who wants to build confidence in process modelling and understand how BPMN is used in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior experience?
No. This workshop is designed for complete beginners. No BPMN or process modelling background is required.
Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a standard way to visually model how work flows across people, teams, and systems.
No. This is a practical, business-focused introduction — not a programming or IT course.
No. The session is tool-agnostic. You’ll learn the principles, not a particular platform. However, we’ll briefly introduce a range of commonly used free and paid BPMN modelling tools so you understand your options and where they fit.
You’ll be able to read basic BPMN diagrams and create simple, clear process models with confidence.
No. It’s a beginner-friendly foundation designed to build understanding and confidence.
Yes. This is a live, instructor-led and interactive session with opportunities to ask questions and work through examples together.
