Operational Excellence Focus over the next 12-18 months - Research Report 2018/19 Back to top 

Progressive organizations are focused on high impact improvements and innovation aligned to strategic goals, as opposed to numerous individual silo improvement projects, sometimes just done for certification reasons, with little or no strategic value.

Projects that are lead by the leadership team’s priorities and vetted for value by the business unit and project leaders (e.g. Lean Masters, MBBs and BBs) and then ultimately the corporate leadership team, ensure that all projects have strong strategic value across the entire value stream of that functional area and the overall enterprise.

The focus now is on improvements to deliver Customer Delight, and a friction free self service buying experience. as stated earlier, before your product had to be 10 times better than the competition, now it is your customer experience that has to be 10 times lighter than the competition. Before, it was usually the the best product that won, now the best customer experience wins. Before it used to be what you sold and now it is how well you sell.

Below is a selection of the responses from the above open ended question. Responses have been selected to ensure they each add new impactful context to the question.
