Improving organizational performance and effectiveness is at the top of most executives’ “to-do” lists. But achieving operational excellence requires, first and foremost, knowing where to focus. Which market segments, which functions and processes – in other words, which efforts will yield the greatest rewards?
Organizational excellence is the result of identifying the right priorities, creating efficient and effective processes, aligning the resources appropriately, leveraging the best tools and technologies, and tracking the most relevant metrics, which cascade through the organization. Successful execution results from clarifying your strategy, then linking it to people, processes and technology.
