Integrated Enterprise Excellence

The next generation business management system, Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE), integrates predictive scorecards with their processes. IEE provides an enhanced business management system that integrates analytically determined strategies with innovation so that improvement efforts give focus to enhancements so that the enterprise as a whole benefits.

Traditional performance scorecards such as a table of numbers, bar charts, or red-yellow-green scorecards can lead to unhealthy behaviors and/or wasteful firefighting activities. The 9-step IEE system avoids these issues and provides predictive scorecards that can lead to insight to where improvement efforts should give focus so that the enterprise as a whole benefits from process enhancement efforts.

Enterprise Performance Reporting System software (EPRS software) is available which provides automatic reporting of predictive process performance metrics that are linked with their processes.

The 30,000-foot-level predictive performance metric reporting system of IEE can also be used as a methodology to maintain the gain after a process has been enhanced.
