Ask this Question Frequently
Based on your skills, experience, and knowledge,
what activities and tasks will generate the most
value for the organization?
You should delegate or automate those functions
that are not part of that answer

Getting Organized

Structure brings Familiarity
 Apply the old adages of productivity and time management
 A place for everything and everything in its place – core platform w/
hierarchical structure
 Get your desk in order – clean and simple design and user interface
 Label, label, label – information categories / page sections
 Create a pending file / inbox (do first things first) – dashboards and
action lists

Strive for Uniformity of Core Processes
 Software technology makes best practice processes
consistent and repeatable
 Automated processes reduce manual effort, speed up
workflow, and increase visibility / insight

Smash Silos
 Communication and collaboration are stifled when silos are
allowed in the organization
 This is true of people and technology
 Almost half of CIO’s believe their business has too many applications
(March 5, 2014, computerweekly.com)
 Consolidation and elimination of ad-hoc systems and
processes generally results in more value without cost
increases

Stop Relying on Email and Spreadsheets

The Over Use of Email
 Email should support your workload, not hinder it or drive it
 Email is not task management, does not connect to other
related tasks, and is difficult to prioritize
 Email communication is not a permanent or long-term record
 Email is organized for the individual, not the enterprise
 Email is not as secure as a hardened business application

17. Contains ENFOS confidential and proprietary information.
17
The Email Alternative
 Document and file transfer through a business application
 Use email for alerts and notifications of process steps,
necessary actions/tasks, and reminders but let the workflow
application do the sending (not a person)
 Utilize bulk data importing wherever possible (e.g., 100
invoices with details in one import file versus multiple emails
and multiple attachments)
 Track and manage notes, history, chronology, decisions, and
other issues using an electronic notebook within the business
application

Kick the Spreadsheet Habit
 Error prone with data integrity issues - rework
 Versioning control issues - multiple versions of the truth
 Rollups are time consuming – low value activity
 History and audit trail challenges – wasted effort to gather
 Great for individuals, weak for enterprises – not standard
 Weak organizational-wide analytics – poor knowledge
 Require redundant data entry if used as front-end to the ERP
system (e.g., SAP, Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, etc.) – wasted
effort

The Spreadsheet Alternative
 Cloud-based spreadsheets
 Grids (spreadsheet like) within business applications

The Right Tool for the Job

21. Contains ENFOS confidential and proprietary information.

Remediation is a Complex Service
 Unlike any other business function in the organization
 Outsourced to specialty consultants and contractors
 High levels of project and portfolio uncertainty
 Long lifecycles
 Legal, Public Relations, Brand, and Regulatory risks
 Does not fit within the traditional business models of
construction, capital projects, maintenance, or commodity
services/products

Expert System for the Remediation Business
Function
 A unique business requires a unique solution
 Generic solutions for each core process area would result in
same technology and knowledge silos that legacy systems
created (e.g., Reserve Management, Contract Management,
Quote/Proposal Management, Purchase to Pay,
Environmental Data, GIS/Mapping, Auditing, Permits,
Document Management, etc.)
 The backend ERP / Accounting system will never work for
Remediation, it’s too generic and rigid
 Real productivity gains can and have been achieved (10 to 15
percent per year in cost reductions while increasing outputs)
