If our current business management and improvement systems are so great, why do we have the problems that we are currently experiencing? What is needed is a reinvention of our business management system, which includes how policies are created and risks assessed. Emerging leaders need to take up the banner for addressing these issues; however, what should they suggest?
To help a CEO consider a different system, someone might as him/her how how happy they are with their current systems of:
- Scorecards: Creation and execution
- Strategic Planning: Creation and execution
- Process Improvement Efforts: Creation and execution
CEO’s often have issues with one or more of these business systems. An Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) addresses these issues and more. IEE is described below with its benefits and how to convey this methodology and to others.
The IEE 21st century governance system, which has a 9-step detailed execution roadmap, may initially sound like a re-packaging of Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints (TOC), Deming’s Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, the balanced scorecard, and/or other methodologies. However, it is not. These listed methodologies are not a business system; IEE is.
IEE uses and integrates the strengths of traditional methodologies to create a long-lasting business governance system that helps organizations move toward achievement of the 3 Rs of business; i.e., everyone doing the Right things, and doing them Right, at the Right time!
IEE provides the roadmap for addressing the business management issues of the day. IEE provides direction for creation and implementation of a no-nonsense business governance system that integrates healthy policy creation and deployment with a no nonsense blending of scorecards, strategic planning, business improvement, and control. IEE provides a substantive business system that addresses the complexities of today’s business environment. IEE provides the means for executives to effectively orchestrate their business.
“… (Integrated Enterprise Excellence or IEE is) the most complete and effective operational management system available.” Keith Moe, Group Vice-President, 3M (retired). IEE provides an enhanced, unified approach to balanced scorecards, strategic planning, and business improvement.
I do understand that the concept of the IEE business system can often initially appear overwhelming. Because of this, I have outlined a few options to describe these concepts further. One or all may be of interest, but I thought I would share multiple options as everyone is a little different.
1. Read American Management Association (AMA) article (MWorld Winter 2008-09) about IEE 9-step business governance system with implementation example.
2. View a video clip on IEE implementation and its benefits.
3. View a recorded webinar on “Why Go Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard”; i.e., IEE measurement, analysis, and improvement governance system.
4. Download one or more of the 100+ IEE resource center articles
5. Read/participate in over 200 IEE blogs .
6. Look into the IEE 4 book-volume series, which describes, at various levels of details, the roadmaps for implementation.
7. Call me personally at 512-918-0280 to discuss how the IEE business system will (or can) benefit your organization.
8. Attend 1-day IEE executive workshop or a University of Texas sponsored 2-day IEE hands-on deployment-creation workshop.
For those interested in seeing how IEE can help companies create a governance system so that they avoid the financial problems of the day, I suggest checking out “Executive Pay, Art of Deception and a 21st Century Governance Business System that Leads to the 3 Rs of Business.”
More information about this 9-step process for taking the tools of Lean, Six Sigma, and the balanced scorecard to become a part of the enterprise system is described in
