EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Business Transformation & Operational Excellence: Achieving Enterprise Excellence - Bristol Myers-Squibb

Watch Rick's full session, 'Achieving Enterprise Excellence by 2020', here, courtesy of the Business Transformation & Operational Excellence World Summit (BTOES18).

From OpEx early days as Six Sigma and Lean –

 the methodologies, tools and techniques were leveraged as a continuous improvement mindset with Cost Savings as King although it has evolved over the years at mature organizations to include waste elimination, improved process flow & efficiencies, enhanced capacity, and a quality/compliance driver.

Business Transformation

More recently, organizations have a new mantra – Business Transformation. The very nature of global competition and customer expectations is forcing a shift to Customer Excellence while at the same time minimizing costs and driving efficiencies through traditional OpEx approaches. What has been driving Business Transformation? The Boston Consulting Group has had several in-depth analyses with consistent findings 1:

OpEx and Business Transformation – Engaging Cultural, Strategic, and Behavioral Challenges

The top four reasons that transformations fail 2:

  1. Lack of well-defined milestones and business objectives
  2. Lack of commitment by senior management
  3. Employee resistance to the transformational change
  4. Poor communication as to mission, vision, and new directions

Clearly, the ability to meet business challenges demands that companies and leaders inspire and align their organizations, create a sense of urgency and speed while balancing innovation and continuous improvement and always keeping an eye on Quality from a customer view while meeting the company vision milestones/objectives. This is evident in the dramatic shift in Top Investment Areas for 2016 by businesses 3:

Top Investment Areas for 2016An integrated view for OpEx Deployment WITH Business Transformation was presented as a “Next Level” evolution of Operational Excellence:

 “Next Level” evolution of Operational Excellence

Key elements of this “Next Level Evolution” model:

  1. Business Strategy and Alignment requires a clear vision and plan. Best in Class companies have adopted methodology like Hoshin Kanri 4.
  2. Leadership Engagement assures a business and customer focus on the outputs of mission critical systems and structures (called Key Process Indicators, KPIs). Many companies have adopted Lean Leadership principles from the Toyota Way of Leadership Development 5.
  3. Behaviors and Empowerment is fundamental for successful deployment of (1) and (2) by setting the right Values and Behaviors (called Key Behavior Indicators, KBIs) for EVERYONE in the company (leaders, managers, and employees). Empowering employees for success through Lean Leaders as coaches and mentors who drive continuous improvement, innovation, and fully support the company vision with goals and metrics (both KPIs and KBIs) tied to Strategy then assures success as highlighted in the Shingo Model 6.
  4. Operational Excellence has traditionally delivered by a data and process mindset focused on improving process KPIs. A sustainable culture shift by a focus on Change Management and KBIs is that opportunity to make OpEx “Part Of” Transformational Change.

Ideal Business Results are delivered by bringing together these combined Business Transformation and Operational Excellence elements into the deployment model called Enterprise Excellence.

Here's a final Case Study example of how KPIs and KBIs drive sustainable business results and how these can be used to change the culture in an organization are presented:
