Implications To Your Organization
The ideal place to start in any organization is with the
CEO/President. It is not impossible to start at a lower level and
push the methodology up the organization, but it may be more
difficult. In this case, it is essential to get approval from the
manager one level up. As BPE is achieved in the business unit, upper
management will undoubtedly see the progress and may wish to spread BPE to
other business units. Back
The time to implement BPT depends on the motivation of the management
team and their willingness to commit resources to achieving BPE.
Within a week, an organization can have a Vision, Mission, Value
Proposition, Model for Strategic Differentiation, Level I/II CPM Matrix,
and Strategic Plan. The time to cascade the whole BPT model
throughout the organization and achieve BPE really depends on:
 | The size of the organization and the number of locations |
| The number of managerial (span of control) levels |
| The commitment of the top-level manager |
| The economic condition of the firm when you start |
| The number of previous failed attempts |
| The sophistication and general education level of the
management team, supervisors, work force; knowledge of strategic
planning and statistical methods |
| The number of programs of the month previously experienced |
| Cultural barriers with respect to what country you are

The effect BPE has on company culture depends on the company culture to
begin with. The less aligned with the overall vision and mission and
less data-driven the organization, the more of a change your organization
can expect to see. Back
As with any management technique, there may be the occasional naysayer
and employee who feels threatened by anything new. However,
experience shows that BPT helps to provide a highly integrated
organization where everyone knows his/her responsibility and how they fit
in and contribute to the vision, mission and value proposition. It
also reduces, rather than increases the numbers of projects employees are
responsible for. This provides an uplifting environment that gives
each employee purpose and direction. Furthermore, the methodology is
rooted in using all available employees, not laying them off. Those
organizations that have little integration to begin with typically feel
the largest benefit in employee morale. Back
This depends on how well the organization is structured around the CPMs
and the span of control authority associated with each CPM. The less
aligned the organization is with its CPMs, the more reorganization may
need to take place. Back
This depends on the organization and its personnel. At a minimum,
each individual in the organization must have a basic understanding of BPE/BPT,
and this may only take one or two days of training. Outside the
basic training, training in statistical methods and data analysis may be
required depending on the nature of the business and the data being
analyzed. Back

our clients, rather than attempting to do their jobs for them. Click
