Why is Everybody Else Working On the Wrong Things?
Do you think your business needs to do something, but no one agrees on what that is? Do you ever wonder why everyone hits their targets but the business is losing money?
Author and consultant Steven Ouellette takes you on an journey to the past, present and future of business with a step-by-step process to create your own business management system. He uses a detailed case study and interesting stories from Galileo's life to frame a logical process to set a long-term vision for a company, understand how it creates value, and turn these into metrics of success for the enterprise.
Using a simple process, each level of management creates metrics that align with the previous level's measures of success, cascading these metrics throughout the company. This results in everyone having metrics that align with the organization's objectives, possibly for the first time.
From there, metrics are used as a springboard for two powerful, but often poorly implemented processes needed by every company: continuous and breakthrough improvement.
The author shows how continuous improvement activities don't need high-level management direction, and how they are best administered by autonomous, locally driven teams aligned with the organization's objectives. He then walks the reader through how the components of this "Daily Management" system accomplish ongoing process improvements.
In parallel with the continuous improvement implementation, the author shows how the executive leadership of an organization can use the metrics and their long-term vision to craft a strategic plan that is more than just an earnest aspiration. This plan organizes the entire business behind accomplishing the breakthroughs needed to make progress towards the company's vision in a way that maximizes the chances of success.
For businesses considering implementing Big Data systems, it is critical that you have these systems in place before you begin, or if you already have started, to get these in place as quickly as possible. Big Data without such systems can be harmful or fatal to a company.
This book is a must-read for anyone wanting an efficient, effective and proven method for building a management system to increase their company's performance.
