The CorPeuM mission is to improve the execution of strategy!
The basis of all performance management is in administering an organization’s business activities (sales, marketing, production, product development, etc.) in an environment that is increasingly uncertain. As outlined in ‘What is Strategy Execution?’, a strategy execution system should support the way in which these business processes are planned and monitored. This will require a number of integrated application capabilities, including:
Business Modelling: The system should be able to model an organization’s current and proposed business processes that show how they are connected to achieve the organization’s purpose.
Metric Categories: It should be possible to view that business model in terms of a number of metric categories such as the resources it consumes, the risks being run, the workload being performed, and the outcomes that are generated. Measures from these different categories will need to be displayed in combinations. For example, to show whether an activity is worthwhile requires its costs to be shown, along with the work performed and any outcomes. In addition, these metric views should be tailored to those people responsible for particular areas of the business.
Methodology support: It should adapt to an organisation’s chosen management methodology. i.e. it should conform with the terminology used and the way in which planning activities are prescribed.
Initiative management: It should allow the creation, selection, approval and monitoring of projects/strategic initiatives that improve organizational performance and how they link to corporate goals.
Scenario planning: It should allow combinations of initiatives to be assessed and the side-by-side analysis of alternate business models, through which senior management can set future plans.
Dynamic reports and analyses: It should communicate plans and results through personalised reports, analyses, dashboards, scorecards and strategy maps but in the context of how well the plan is being executed, so that the future can be better managed.
Dynamic workflow management: The system should be able to cope with continuous planning and monitoring of execution, which intelligently involves the right people at the right time, from across the enterprise.
Most people would agree that these capabilities are essential for managing strategy and its execution. Similarly, most CPM software vendors would claim to have these, but as they say, the devil is in the detail.

better energy management as it looks to improve
guest comfort levels while optimizing energy
consumption. The effort is to reduce carbon
footprint, bring in more energy efficiency by use of
data-driven approaches and keep operational costs
under check.
The industry,amid its diversity,faces certain common

diversity lies in the different kind of establishments it
supports – be it large convention hotels, restaurants,
guest houses,inns or motels.The varied nature of the
physical facilities and the activities that they host can
make energy management especially challenging.
This paper talks about the data analytics-based
approach to determine Operational Effectiveness
and Energy Management (OE&EM) for the
hospitality industry.
4. Unlike other commercial buildings, hotels have unique energy
requirements because of the variety of facilities available, functions
provided and operational schedules. A hotel usually operates 24X7,
round the year, although some sections such as the ballroom or a
restaurant may be closed during specific periods in a day. Guest
occupancy levels in hotels vary significantly across the year. In many
hotels, even when a guestroom is not occupied, the air conditioning is
kept switched on to prevent odor or guest discomfort. These factors
contribute to the rising need for a specialized focus on Energy
Management and Operational Effectiveness in the hospitality industry.
Advancements in IT, data convergence, and data analytics have found
increased relevance in the way facility operations and management
services are being delivered in the industry. Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) such as guest comfort, complaints, internal thermal
and schedule policy compliance, energy consumption, benchmarking,
etc. are being examined by hotel operators closely to understand and
answer the “whats” and “whys,” resulting in better insights into energy
consumption and operations.
Need for Operational
& Energy Efficiency
The hospitality industry has Facility Management Systems and Energy
Management Systems such as Building Management System (BMS),
guest room controls system, metering/sub-metering and Property
Management Systems working in silos. The recent Innovations in
Information Communication Technology and high performance
machines saw advent of concepts such as cloud connectivity, high speed
data transfer, distributed databases, open standards for building
controls such as LONWorks, BACnet, OPC, etc.
These allow the hospitality sector to integrate various energy
management systems and use the data for informed decision making in
day-to-day operations that can help improve:
• Guest comfort
• Overall hotel energy efficiency
• Lifecycle operating cost of hotel assets
Breaking the Silos
Energy Operations Management
Systems and Uses

Building controls systems are an offspring of industrial automation and
controls systems. These systems are proprietary in nature and were
conceived for use in standalone mode, with limited operational and
consumption data sharing capabilities which can be leveraged for
analytical purposes.
The end of 20th century saw standards like TCP/IP, XML and standard
databases being acknowledged as the need for enhancing the scope of
data sharing for remote monitoring, centralized aggregation, analytics
etc. These technologies form the foundation for development of
enterprise data analysis systems by collecting data from multiple
sources such as Building Management System or Control Systems,
Energy Monitoring System, Guest Room Management System and
Property Management System (see Figure 1). They provide insights we
wouldn’t otherwise have.
BMS companies are lagging in adoption of the required IT standards.
There is a major challenge in integrating with analytical engine for
operational improvement and energy cost reduction.
Property Management System: System used as Guest
database for booking, special instructions (VIP room, etc.),
also sometimes provided integration with guest complains
Building Management System: Control system
controlling and Connecting common area assets such
AHUs, Pumps, Chillers
Guest Room Controls: Smart thermostats controlling the
lighting, HVAC equipment in hotel rooms. Some hotels still have
old thermostats which do not have commutating capabilities
Energy Monitoring System: Hospitality industry has
many meters (mostly standalone but having commutating
capabilities) installed

The hospitality industry can effectively reduce energy use by leveraging
on the OE&EM Platform as this helps improve bottom line and
brings down operating costs. Understanding energy and operations
components (such as energy and operations spend and it’s break-up, its
correlation with business needs, guest comfort, weather, availability,
etc.) in the sector is the first step towards this.
Energy and operations management can be achieved by ensuring major
systems are run as per best optimized schedule and set points,
detecting break down, identifying inefficiency of systems, and reducing
Contemporary Building Management Systems (also called as Energy
Management System) provide capabilities for collecting millions of data
points, deviation detection, data trends, schedule management and
consumption monitoring. However, there is an abundance of data and an
absence of analysis, making it a “data rich but information poor” situation.
Power of Big Data Analytics
energy leaks. This is done by integrating BMS, utility meters and
sub-meters, guest room controls, Property Management System and
other business systems (such as financial components related to
breakdown cost, Annual Maintenance Contract, retrofit costs, service
costs, work orders, etc.) to collect site data on a central energy
platform. The OE&EM Platform has the capability to run algorithms.
Data analysts and scientists use it to identify opportunities for
operational improvements and energy cost reductions.
Big Data analytics tools helps identify “What” (pattern analysis) as
reference and later Subject Matter Experts use this pattern analysis to
identify the “Whys” and action to correct the deviation. This
methodology of using analytics to transform data into useful information
is the added advantage of OE&EM Platform-based operations.

‘Center’ of Gravity
This framework will help make the Energy Management System of the hospitality industry a more data-centric one which will boost operational
efficiencies with minimum capital investments. Being a continuous process, it also helps sustain the operational improvements and energy savings for
a longer period. The centralized view enables organizations to compare their performances through benchmarking and by prioritizing action plans.
An analytics-based approach, backed by a energy and operations center, which is different from the traditional approach of retrofits and
refurbishments, is the ideal way to move forward. Key elements of analytics-based Operational Effectiveness and Energy Management approach are:
• It is a No/Low CAPEX model for achieving energy savings that leverage existing infrastructure
• Empowers operations and management teams to proactively manage equipment performance and reduce downtime. It reduce man-hours spent
on diagnosis and reporting

monthly or quarterly report
• Regression Analysis- Quantifies relationship
between the dependent, i.e, energy use, and
independent variables such as weather,
occupancy, etc
• Specific guidelines on data
storage devices, permissions
to read/write the data, data
structure algorithms,
periodic maintenance, data
warehousing, etc.
• Data Integration –
Extract, Transform and
Load (ETL) processes can
be used to collate data
from outside sources,
transform into
operational needs, load it
into end target
• Data Selection – data
relevant for the analysis is
extracted using
algorithms and tools like
SQL, Access, Excel, etc.
• Ad hoc/operational and energy
performance deviation reports –
that help understand how many
deviations, how often, where, etc.
• Query drilldown/Root cause
analysis – helps understand key
issues such as major energy
usuage deviations, schedule and
thermal policy violations, where
exactly is the problem, or how
can it be rectified
• Simple statistical tests like T Test,
Z Test can be used in some cases
• Correlation Analysis – to know the
relationship between two variables such as
temperature and consumption
• Cluster Analysis - to find homogenous
groups across sites
• Forecasting - helps pre-plan through
series of variables related to seasonality
and weather
• Predictive Modeling – helps prepare
contingency plans
• Optimization – helps plan how to do
things better
