execution-works: An Organization's Operational Work Platform

The objective, the constraint, and the difference that makes all the difference. The primary objective is to achieve/exceed our goals. This is true in any endeavor, but in business the objective is to strategically create the best goals, then maximize the outcome by juggling time and resources in order to be successful in their achievement.

In business, you succeed due to your strategy, and you fail due to every missed opportunity to execute.

The constraints on an organization are the talent, time, and attention of management. The responsibility to get it right rests squarely your management teams' shoulders, and success is tied up in executing the strategic directives that those folks deliver. However, the distinction of how much talent, time, and attention is consumed in optimizing execution versus devising the best strategy cannot be overstated. Flawless execution of the wrong strategy is, simply, wrong! So, the trick is to create conditions for maximum dedication to the strategy creation while ensuring that all initiatives are executed to their fullest potential. Mastering this division of attention has been the difference that makes all the difference for organizations that consistently succeed. It is wise to focus on strategic business initiatives, not on operational micro-management!

A Long History of Management Methods/Practices - Now Too Slow and Cumbersome

Project management (PM) has long been a trusted tool to devise, monitor, and manage the fulfillment of initiatives. However, the mathematical models and graphical devices that comprise PM merely provide an oversight task to the execution of work, and function as a disconnected guidance activity using models outside the coordinated activities themselves. As a function, PM adds "oversight" tasks to management's already full plate. Even worse, the tools are the functional equivalent of devising detached "models of work" without any real connection to the work that needs to be done. The actual work is continually being performed in the real world, yet it is all delegated from, reported to, and measured against a mathematical model riddled with inconsistencies and time lags. The questionable reality of the work breakdowns are found in imprecise GANTT-chart artifacts, which are housed in a binder on a shelf. The drawbacks of PM are mandating management's time and attention at the expense of strategic development in a highly inefficient way. This process needs to be automated to, for, and from the work itself.

Today's Network-Focused Technologies Offer Better Alternatives to Coordinate Work In the intervening years since PM's adoption and widely accepted use, technology has dramatically improved. As the pace of business has increased to real-time (and, in some cases, even future-oriented predictive models), PM's methods and devices are becoming decidedly inadequate. All around the practices of PM, the paradigms of hierarchical command-and-control management, the fixed organizational boarders, and the simple linear cause/effect thinking are giving way to co-collaboration concepts and new social networking technologies. This enables entirely new network-oriented ways to do what has long been the real purpose of PM to coordinate work to optimally meet the needs, objectives, and strategies of the business. These new realizations are addressing long-standing complex organizational work issues. Some examples include:
ProgrammaticStructured Delay Limited Operational Initiative to Improve
Ability to Dedicate More Management Effort Toward Strategy 1. If just 20% less time and resources were needed to manage operational functions and activities allowing more time to be focused on developing better strategies, how much difference would that make in your business? 2. If your company had that 20% as an advantage over your competitors, could it be the advantage that would make all the difference? 3. Can you afford NOT to take advantage of an opportunity to find out?

1. Are your organization's processes and programs taking too long to produce outcomes that match the changes that prompted them? 2. Is there a constant effort to catch up to changing requirements from the marketplace? 3. If your staff could be managed in real-time and at the same level in the organization that matches the point at which change was mandated, would your organization be more responsive? 4. How much do you think the ability to immediately react would be worth in the rapidly changing and hypercompetitive market you face today?

1. Does your organization limit the amount of change and advancement it pursues based upon perceived acceptance of and ability to change? 2. Are those perceptions colored by the rigid nature of a more traditional projectmanagement function, which have caused some programs and processes to fail in the past (even though they may not fail under alternative circumstances)? 3. Wouldn't it be great to move past those old perceived constraints and do much more in the future? 4. How much more could be accomplished and, quite frankly, how much more revenues could be earned without those perceived constraints?
