Hackathon at Itaú
During their visit to Paraguay, the Interact Latam team conducted an exclusive BPM Week for the Banco Itaú team, a client of Inquality, Interact’s partner company in Paraguay.
The training brought together 23 participants from various departments, including the Process Management and Technology areas of the bank. The main objective of the program was to convey, both theoretically and practically, the full approach and methodology of process management.
In addition, the teams were able to put their knowledge into practice by modeling processes and initiating process analyses through simulations and strategic alignments using the Interact Suite SA.
“After the BPM Week, participants began to view processes in a different way — not merely from a technical perspective, but as an essential element for articulating process management in their daily routines,”- highlighted Iván Lasso, Project Director at Interact Latam.
