Operational Excellence Defined: Is Right For You?Juran Global
“Operational Excellence,” “Performance Excellence,” “Business Excellence” – No matter what you call it, organizations are looking for solutions that yield better outcomes when executing their business plans and strategies. Many organizations do a decent job of designing, defining, and writing their plans to improve performance but very few organizations follow through with those plans and achieve the goals they have established.

The key to successful Digital TransformationMegan Hunter
Many companies see technology as the key to delivering transformation and whilst technology plays a vital role in enabling business change, it is only one piece of the jigsaw.
Implementing transformational solutions is something most companies do once or twice a generation, and it’s like performing open heart surgery. The decision to undertake these projects is not taken lightly, and the business world is plagued by examples of implementations that haven’t delivered the desired business outcomes, are late and exceed budget.
With contributions from key Microsoft partners, including IBM, QuantiQ, PwC, Avanade, KPMG Crimsonwing, and Hitachi Solutions, this White Paper discusses the common features that differentiate the successful business transformation programmes from the failures, and why all programmes must address the following: clarity; having the right team; securing talent; selecting the right partner; adopt, not adapt; strong governance; external assurance.

http://flevy.com/blog/sap-and-change-management/
As a “seasoned” Change Manager, I have been involved in many diverse projects focusing on managing the business aspect of technology implementations; e.g. ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), Core Banking Systems, Business Intelligence, Case Working and Knowledge Management solutions, and the like.
To this day, I continue to be asked why is there a need to have involvement from a Change Manager, because a technology implementation “is what it is” and once implemented, the business should just be able to “get on and work with it.” But, it’s not quite as simple as that, because if you break down the impact of a technology implementation on a business, it would go something like this:
• It will change the way a business operates.
• Key stakeholders will want and need to be involved and communicated with.
• Processes will change.
• Organisation structures will change.
• The readiness of the business will need to be measured to ensure a smooth go-live.
• There will be a need to train and educate people in new ways of working.
• Business benefits as set out in the business case will need to be tracked.
• Once people gain competence with the new technology they should be encouraged to continuously improve ways of working into the future.
That sounds very simple, but actually it’s not, because all of these things involve people and they will need to have their expectations and perceptions managed.
Technology implementations aimed at making an organisation more efficient have become larger and more critical in recent years and now represent a major challenge for organisations. Despite improved technical functionality and reliability there are still project overruns, delays and sometimes downright failure. Research continues to show that between 30% and 70% of technology implementations either fail to meet their targeted benefits or stall and/or overrun. Problems are typically not related to the system or to technical issues surrounding the software but instead are often due to business related issues. One of the main reasons cited for this failure rate is that projects are usually managed from a technical perspective by Project Managers who are driven by milestones and deliverables but lack the necessary “soft skills” to deal effectively with the people side of change.

Is ‘continuous improvement’ necessary for your business to grow and sustain b...Group50 Consulting
Continuous improvement consultancy helps with persistent endeavors to make the most of the systems and processes used by your business. All these improvements, sometimes, happen all at once, while other times, there are more gradual.
If employees at all levels do not accept the new system and believe that it will have a positive effect, morale and productivity are likely to be affected. In general, lack of communication is one of the biggest barriers to buying.
How to Implement an Integrated Business Management SystemContinuSys
The goal of a successful business management system is to improve efficiency and help employees work together. Moreover, It can also be used for individual growth. Learn how to implement an integrated business management system with this post.

When implementing a new business application, most organizations feel they need to choose between “build” versus “buy”. Building your own application means everything is possible, but building complex applications is a risky venture. Buying a standard application provides all the advantages of pre-configuration, but has limited flexibility. Although most organizations prefer standard applications, they end up adapting them, leading to high cost of ownership, and long change cycles.
However, a third approach has emerged, reconciling the differences between build and buy. Model-driven applications come with an out-of-the-box configuration, as would be expected of a packaged business application, yet it can be adapted without development effort.
The main characteristic of a model-based application is that the business rules and business logic are not stored within the application, but are defined, stored and maintained in a user-accessible repository. Making changes in that repository then automatically leads to changes in the application.
The paper focuses on strategy, organization and cultural aspects of managing model-driven business applications, such as Be Informed.
Encouraging Business Excellence through Continuous ImprovementGroup50 Consulting
Customers, stockholders, and employees are just a few of the parties that will benefit when a company implements a continuous improvement program. On the other hand, a company should not implement continuous improvement just once and then stop.
A business process covers the steps performed by an individual, group, business, or organization to achieve a defined or desired goal. Each step is typically assigned to a specific employee or team to carry out. After all the process steps are completed, the initiative or task is considered done. Processes are critical for business success and ensure mission-critical tasks are regularly, efficiently, and dependably carried out.
Business process improvement (BPI) involves a systematic initiative to boost how business processes are implemented. Convoluted or outdated processes waste money and time and thus need to be improved. Each process improvement effort should start with clear business objectives; otherwise, you may end up implementing random improvements that add no significant business value in the long term. It is critical to identify your organizational or business pains and then identify the specific processes that need improvement within that context.
Too many redundant processes can lead to errors that adversely impact your company’s revenue and bottom line. The goal of BPI is to reduce costs by enhancing overall operational effectiveness. Eliminate inefficiencies and waste by reducing uneconomical processes that add no real value to your business.
An excellent strategy is to develop a fine-tuned workflow that acts as a useful blueprint, mapping out daily tasks for each team member and removing redundancies. A workflow makes it easy to define the weak links in the organization’s operations.
Eoin Woods, CTO at Endava, provides insights into what we mean by agility and explores why successful Agile Transformation initiatives go beyond the development teams, in a whitepaper that discusses the six aspects of an organisation that need to evolve to achieve true agility.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. PROCESS BEFORE TECHNOLOGY
Whether it is a small, mid-sized or large organization, the need
to understand business processes as a driver for achievement of
objectives remains the same. We should take the systems out of the
equation and define the processes. The old truth remains: “a bad
process will still be a bad process even if it is automated.” Technology
is simply the means of enablement of the business strategy.
In this white paper, you will learn:
• What is a business process?
• What are the benefits of Business Process Optimization?
• What happens in a Business Process Optimization?
• What are the deliverables of a Business Process Optimization?

2 process produces performance
3. WHAT IS BUSINESS PROCESS?
• The activities a business needs to do and the order in which it needs to do them to achieve a defined business
outcome in the most effective manner.
• A set of logically related activities performed by a business
to achieve a defined business outcome.
• It describes the ‘what’ not the ‘how’.
• It has customers - internal and/or external.
• The activities cross organizational boundaries.

4. WHY bly:Optimize?
Strategy first, technology second--If executives learned anything from the Y2K tech wreck, it should be that technology
is not a good driver of a business strategy, but reorganizing business process efficiencies and bolstering revenue are.
Technology is a pillar of business success, but it’s only one pillar. There are other things that are just as important.
Align teams vertically and horizontally
Often there is a disconnect between what the C-level believes is happening in the business and what is really going
on. A dialogue on business process can help get everyone on the same page when it comes to with business strategy
and associated processes, and can help identify process gaps where the “C” players believe a process is done one
way, the managers think it’s being executed another way and staff is actually doing another process.
This gap between what management thinks is happening and what staff is doing is a major risk area for breakdown in
company controls and disconnect from company strategy. This also affects morale when staff members can see that
their daily actions are not in alignment with company goals, mission or values, and becomes even more acute when
there is regular turn over in staff or management.
Disconnect can happen across business units as well. Each department has its own requirements and goals. They
are also, however, all part of an entity that should be working toward a set of common goals. The Business Process
Optimization can help expose any inconsistencies and create a path toward reconciling them.
This doesn’t mean your business is failing; in fact this is a normal occurrence. When technology is implemented in a
business there were ideas and thoughts that created the need for new software. Along with that technology came
new processes and extensive training. Through job turnover and shifts in business goals, processes can become
more relaxed or misaligned to the new business strategy. Our role is to point out those inconsistencies and give your
company a new framework in which you can examine those needed changes on an annual basis to keep your
business moving in the right direction.

5. Plan for disruptions
Companies change. They make acquisitions or they get acquired, sections are sold
off or outsourced, and executives get replaced. These are changes that management
must be ready for. A firm can reorganize its sales territories or replace its project leaders,
which can have a significant impact on its strategy. Strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum –
frequently “checking in” with your processes and your people to be sure they are not at
odds with new realities means that you are more agile and responsive, and there’s less risk
in your business.
As your business changes, your people change, and your processes change. Technology gets
upgraded, infrastructure evolves – all these changing elements mean that your training plan
does not stop when your technology goes “live.” Work to put an ongoing training program in
place so your team is not remaining static while everything around them is evolving. Keeping the
team up-to-date and regularly addressing their daily challenges will increase user adoption and
efficiency and minimize risk of errors and waste.
Overcome Implementation Fatigue
After most companies deploy ERP, CRM and HRMS systems, they are tired and burnt out after
the initial deployment and never go back and refine the business process after
the initial approach of “Get it in and make it work so
employees can do their job”. Companies rush through
implementation to minimize business disruption as
well as costs and time of implementation, and it’s
important to go back and refresh the system and the
processes to be sure they are aligned with current
business objectives.

6. WHY bly:Optimize?
Leverage the existing investment
One of the common results of the bly:Optimize service is the Executive team discovering that
the company could reap easy benefits simply by getting a higher level of utilization on the
system they already have. Most companies are only using about 20% of their software’s
capabilities, while the remaining features go unused and in some cases unknown. User
training is a big part of that – often users simply are not aware of features that could
help them be more efficient. Perhaps a post-Optimization recommendation could be
establishing “Lunch & Learns” for the users, or set up recurring monthly or quarterly
training sessions.
Uncovering beneficial functions in the existing system is another common post-Optimization
discovery. For many companies, a majority of what they want to do is already available in the
software they own. For others, there may exist the capacity to automate manual work flows
or balance work between departments – again, already in the system as it stands, but not
previously implemented.
Ask the expert
When faced with a problem, whether it’s customization, functionality, or
deployment strategy, companies who have not partnered with business
technology experts often assume a new product needs to be
purchased or another module integrated. Instead, look to leverage
current applications to gain new functionality or services, and
be sure that your technology is aligned with strategy to
avoid many of these mistakes. Experts with many years
of business experience, like those at Blytheco, know
what questions to ask to fill in these gaps.

7. WHAT IS bly:Optimize?
bly:Optimize is designed to allow us an opportunity to understand your business so that we can
work with you as a team to avoid the mistakes above. We want to understand your process not
from a theoretical viewpoint (i.e., how things are supposed to work), but from the nitty-gritty,
day-to-day viewpoint.
Often we find that significant gains can be found within the system you own
today, without the need for additional products!
We want to understand what it takes to do your job today, so that we may assist your
organization in moving forward with your software to help you do your job better, faster,
easier, and more effectively.
For us to best understand how to advise and assist with enhancing your software, and improve
current processes, it is important that we understand how you do things, why you do certain
things the way you do, what is unique about what you do, what areas are the most important to
address. We spend time getting entrenched in your business.
We also want to understand your goals for the near future and longer term, so that we can keep
those visions in mind when assisting with the current goals to accomplish - what you want to get out
of the software “today” while looking ahead at what you will need to get to your desired future.
bly:Optimize (usually) consists of a on-site visit interviewing key personnel in each department to
discuss and document business processes. We will learn how and why certain tasks are performed,
what is unique about your processes, and some of the most important issues that must be addressed.
Depending on your business needs and complexity you require, the one day engagement can be
expanded to as many days as necessary to get the desired outcome.

8. METHODOLOGY
Blytheco will interview members of the management team and employees of each department to discuss and
document their business processes. These interviews with key personnel are designed so that we can fully understand
their job functions, needs and challenges with the current system. By stepping through each department’s daily
process, we are able to better understand how the system can best help your company achieve its goals.
The focus of bly:Optimize is typically centered on your business’ functional areas, for example: accounting or finance,
operations, sales, marketing, service, human resources.
During the service:
• Interviews are conducted with key personnel from each functional department.
• We talk to the staff about how they perform their jobs today and the tools they use, such as reports, import/export
jobs, or web interface software.
• We gain an understanding of your goals and recommend any tools you may need for future growth.
• We document the process of each functional department and provide recommendations to business process, work
flow, system controls. In addition we identify if you may benefit from additional training, the addition of a new
module, or an upgrade to a more current version so that you can take advantage of new features that enhance your
business model.
