Operational Excellence – A Definition

A Business Strategy: In "The Discipline of Market Leaders“ (1995), Michael Treacy and
Fred Wiersema describe three distinct value propositions or disciplines: Product
Leadership, Customer Intimacy and Operational Excellence.
Market leaders choose to excel in delivering extraordinary levels of one of these three
value propositions, while maintaining reasonable standards in the other disciplines.

Market leaders will not pursue a diffused business strategy across two
or even all three disciplines, but will continually focus on their
organizational design, processes, technology and competencies to
improve the one particular value discipline that they want to provide to
their Customers better than anyone else.
Organizations pursuing an Operational Excellence strategy, strive to
deliver a combination of quality, price, and ease of purchase and
service that no other organization in their market or industry can
match.

Strategy is an expression of what an organization intents to do to get from a current


state to a future state. Strategy is often expressed in terms of a vision statement,
objectives, goals, and initiatives.

 Only 5% of the workforce understands their company


strategy.
 Only 25% of managers have incentives linked to
strategy.
 60% of organizations don’t link budgets to strategy.
 86% of executive teams spend less than one hour per
month discussing strategy.

Once you have completed the strategic grid, go back and make sure everything fits with your overall strategy. A set
of strategic grids should provide the strategic model for running the business, outlining the specifics of the
strategy. All stakeholders should be able to look at the grids and follow the flow of the organization’s strategy.

The Hoshin X-Matrix is a tool that visualizes an organization’s


 strategic objectives,
 strategic initiatives,
 key performance indicators,
 key projects & action items, and
 human resources requirements
in one simple matrix.

The Hoshin X-Matrix enables an organization to easily review the alignment of its
strategic objectives, strategic initiatives, key performance indicators, key action items
and human resources.
The Hoshin X-Matrix, if used properly, improves the likelihood of a successful
execution of the strategic plan.

“I sure wish I’d done a better job of


communicating with GM people. I’d do that
differently a second time around and make
sure they understand and shared my vision for
the company. Then they would know why I was
tearing the place up, taking out whole divisions, changing our whole
production structure . . . I never got this across.”

“Balanced Scorecards tell you the knowledge, skills and systems that
your employees will need (learning and growth) to innovate and build
the right strategic capabilities and efficiencies (internal processes) that
deliver specific value to the market (customer) which will eventually lead
to higher shareholder value (financial).”

“Having Trouble with Your Strategy? Then Map It.”


by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton - Harvard Business Review

“Tell me how you will measure me, and then I will tell you
how I will behave. If you measure me in an illogical way, don’t
complain about illogical behavior.”

 Improve communication of organizational priorities across an organization
 Help employees to understand and focus on organizational priorities and realize
relevant results

For each objective on your strategic grids, you need at least one performance indicator.
Can you have an objective without a performance indicator? Yes, it is possible, but not
having a measurement makes it difficult to manage the objective. It’s best to revisit this
objective and ask the question: Why is this an objective?

State of Michigan Department of Management and Budget (DMB)

Coordinator Kathe Carter:

"Our management team evaluates potential new programs/initiatives by seeing how


they fit in with our strategy. In the past we would continue stacking new projects on
everyone's plates, but now if it doesn't fit with our strategy we don't do it." Just as
important for the DMB is that "whenever a new project or initiative is proposed, our
people ask 'how does this fit in with our strategy map /scorecard?' They feel that this
connection attaches a higher level of importance to the initiative."
