Resources in Operational Excellence (OPEX)

Our focus on Operational Excellence (OE) is on the alignment of strategies, processes, performers, measures, technologies and management to achieve and sustain outstanding levels of performance of the entire enterprise.

Our belief is that Operational Excellence is achievable only when an organization has defined the major elements that affect performance and aligned them (which often means redesigning them) to support strategies and goals.

Just as often the task of alignment also means ridding the organization of things (practices, policies, organization structures) that impede Operational Excellence.

How To Scale Your Process Documentation Initiative

Strong, visible sponsorship is essential for an initiative of this nature to succeed – you will require time and effort from a large number of people across the business.

Each week, you will get push back from groups who are busy "fighting fires" and may not want to prioritize your process documentation initiative.
