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. The final book in the set, Lean Six
Sigma Project Execution Guide, provides a detailed roadmap for
process improvement project execution, which truly integrates Lean
and Six Sigma tools.
