End-to-end process optimization and robotics process automation (RPA) 


Iassen Deenitchin

RPA is one of many levers for improving processes and operational performance. Yet, it often lives its own life in large organizations: from the organizational set-up and resources to identifying and capturing opportunities for process optimization. Substantial value can be created from integrating RPA into end-to-end process management; and leveraging it fully to enhance customer experience and improve efficiency.

Strategy Execution and the case for Continuous Business Transformation


Attila Dobai
Head of Strategy & Innovation
 Avis Budget Group

There are only two cases when strategy is not important, you have no competition or you don’t care if you lose. Neither applies to us. We have competition and we want to win. Winning requires both strategy and execution. I believe this topic, while frequently discussed is usually over complicated and misunderstood. Focusing on the critical elements of what creates a right to win and what does not as well as consistent measurement, feedback and execution gives a company it’s best chance to win.

Quality Improvement in an NHS Organisation

 

 


Jo Murray
Matron, Achieving Excellence
 NHS Foundation Trust

The Royal Surrey Hospital’s quality improvement programme ‘Achieving Excellence (AE)’ supports to deliver a culture of problem solving and continuous improvement at the front line.   This involves the right mind-set – that all staff levels have ‘permission’ to improve; and that making small, incremental changes is part of the day job.  Integrated team working is vital to its ongoing success. The Trust is building on this by participating in an NHS sponsored piece of work to develop a national approach to improvement in healthcare. A positive culture of engagement is encouraged and enabled by the Executive Directors and Board.  They have created an environment that makes it clear when standards are not being met or are no longer sufficient.

From Strategy to Operations: Building new business capabilities in record time


Jacques Hamel
Chief Digital Transformation Officer

Digital transformation is more than a catchphrase. It is a hope, a dream that all companies may grow, change or transform seamlessly. To get there, our belief is that transformation begins with a strategy that if properly understood should lead to operational change. All initiatives must be linked-to and driven-by business goals as defined by the strategy. In this context, evaluating the existing business capabilities, transforming them and acquiring new ones is essential.

Shane Yount
President

Countless organizations conduct annual strategic planning exercises and 70% of those plans fail – organizational saturation and the inability to sustain aspirational plans are the two leading failure factors.  Now is the time to stop talking about the next plan, tool, meeting, or strategy and examine first and foremost the purpose, function, and output of your tactical “Way of Work.”  Does your organization have a Tactical Way of Work? Too often strategic plans are abstract and aspirational because they don’t TRANSLATE.  Does your organization have a TRANSLATION ISSUE? Translating Strategic Intent to Tactical Execution.

Developed strategy may be thorough- yet business results often fall short. Strategy to Execution (STE) uses growth accelerators to bridge sound strategy and focused execution.

The Harvard Business Review published an article 12/30/2015, Only 8% of Leaders are Good at Both Strategy and Execution, detailing the results based off of a 2013 survey of 700 executives who were asked two questions: 1) How many excelled at strategy and 2) How many excelled at execution. Not surprising, the results showed only 8% stated they were very effective at both with 16% stating they were very effective at either strategy or execution. While companies are seeking out strategies to create competitive advantage, they are overlooking a fundamental vehicle to seize it… the execution of developed strategy.
