In order to provide today’s operationally savvy executive with the command-and-control cockpit that is needed to run an effective organization, I propose that we must first consider the three basic components that are the foundation of any organization: people, processes and technology. In order to achieve the lofty goals of increased valuation, top-line growth and increased share price, it is imperative to have a well-defined business strategy, supported by a sound operational strategy, which is driven by operational execution. It is this foundation that provides the fuel to drive operational execution.

Information obtained from analyzing and evaluating live business processes provides an important leading indicator for a company’s performance and value creation activities. Collecting KPIs on a data-driven basis without linking them to processes does not boost business performance, however. Process-oriented performance management tools are required that seamlessly support day-to-day business management at the strategic, tactical, and operational level.
