SESSION INFORMATION:

During this session an analysis process with supporting graphic tools will be presented as an effective way to identify performance improvement opportunities. Furthermore, this approach with its related Organization Mapping tools has an important added benefit of helping to involve and engage an organization's people, who are essential to the implementation of changes and ongoing management for sustaining improvements. Participants will have an opportunity to work with an Organization Map hands-on. And, several actual case studies from a cross-section of business sectors will be presented and offered for discussion.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

Taking a "different view" of any organization makes it possible to highlight valuable potential. - There is significant opportunity to identify otherwise "invisible" improvement potential when we look at an organization from the perspective of how it works (organization map) and in the context of its marketplace, rather than only its internal reporting relationships or how its structured (organization chart).
Measures should be defined, aligned and calibrated from the "outside-in." - Effective management measures need to tie back to and support the achievement of customer/market focused results, if an organization is to be successful in the short as well as the long-term.
People ARE the organization and need to be "part of the solution." - The best ideas and recommendations for improvement will be useless if the appropriate people within the organization don't own and/or support them, i.e., if people have not been involved and engaged, changes are not likely to be implemented, much less institutionalized.
