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.

Operational Excellence – Strategy Deployment Process
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.

Operational Excellence – Strategy Deployment Process
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.

“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).”

“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.”

How do you want to look to your shareholders? -
Indicators focus on whether your strategic and
operational plan contributes to your top-line,
bottom-line and/or market share.
Objectives Indicators Targets Projects
19 - 6/6/21 – v9.0
Operational Excellence – Performance Management
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?
