The way organizations approach strategic challenges greatly determines their level of success or failure.  Senior leaders are looking for the right results; process owners and project leaders are challenged to initiate and prioritize new projects on a daily basis.  What is needed is organizational alignment around the vital few projects that will actually solve strategic challenges at both the enterprise and problem level.
The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Edwin Boon, principal of Rendement Group and formerly of Select Comfort and GE, to our December 9 St. Paul breakfast discussion: “The Metric of Urgency™ You Need to Measure: Using Metrics to Link Strategic Thinking to Operational Excellence.”

Systematic Problem Solving (SPS™) moves organizations from the widely accepted but ad hoc practice of executing too many projects and achieving low impact into a systematic process of executing on the vital few projects that will deliver breakthrough change expressed in terms of process performance and financial results that clearly help the organization overcome any strategic challenge.  Edwin will explore how identifying a leading process indicator called the Metric of Urgency™ creates alignment between strategic challenges and the vital few projects that matter.  Explore problem statements, leading and lagging metrics, and how your organization can stay focused on the vital few projects.

The discussion is at our new St. Paul location: Metro State University in the Ecolab Room in the Library (details provided at registration).  Continental breakfast will be served from 7:30 to 8:00 with the presentation from 8:00 to 9:00 am.  No cost for members; $30 for non-members.
