Forrest
Breyfogle is a Professional Engineer and ASQ Fellow
who founded Smarter Solutions in 1992. As a management
thought leader and innovator, he recently completed
a four-volume set of books that provides radical
management advancements in the utilization and
integration of scorecards, strategic planning,
and process improvement.
The
first book, The Integrated Enterprise Excellence
System: An Enhanced, Unified Approach to Balanced
Scorecards, Strategic Planning, and Business Improvement,
introduces new perspectives on what to measure
and report; when and how to report it; how to
interpret the results; and how to use the results
to establish goals, prioritize work efforts, and
continuously enhance organizational focus and
success. The system helps organizations improve
their bottom-line and competitiveness through
the integration of analytics with innovation.
An
additional three-volume series, Integrated Enterprise
Excellence: Going Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the
Balanced Scorecard, provides further elaboration
on the shortcomings of traditional systems and
the details of an Integrated Enterprise Excellence
(IEE) implementation. This series of volumes describes
IEE’s set of management techniques that
enhance an organization’s measurement and
improvement system to increase predictable and
sustainable bottom-line results. The system embeds
a set of best practices derived from the strengths
of past systems, applying structured metrics and
a no-nonsense roadmap to initiate process improvement
and achieve substantial benefits. IEE takes Lean
Six Sigma and the balanced scorecard to the next
level in the pursuit of enterprise excellence.
