Integrated Enterprise Excellence

The American Management Association (AMA) describes a 21st-century governance system and how a company benefited from its deployment. The 9-step framework of the described Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system provides a guiding-light roadmap for navigating through and beyond these challenging times. IEE provides a long-lasting system for structurally integrating healthy policy creation and deployment with a systematic blending of scorecards, strategic planning, business improvement, and control so that the enterprise as a whole benefits. IEE system goes beyond many traditional and recent management techniques such as the balanced scorecard.

An enhanced innovation strategy framework is achieved with the 9-step Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system.  With an IEE approach, an innovation strategy  is not a silo activity but structurally a part of an overall business management system.  

Through Lean Six Sigma many businesses have reported significant performance improvements. Though management may be satisfied with project selection and project execution, there is nagging doubt about whether enterprise as a whole is benefiting. Quite often Lean Six Sigma projects are often not in direct alignment with the achievement of corporate financial goals. Lean Six Sigma is not a business system. Lean Six Sigma is a project execution system. Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) is a business governance system that takes Lean Six Sigma and traditional scorecards to a new level. IEE is a business system where performance improvement metric needs pull for the creation of IEE projects. IEE replaces firefighting with fire prevention and integrates scorecards, strategic planning, business improvement, and control. IEE helps organizations move toward achievement of the 3 Rs of business; i.e., everyone doing the Right things, and doing them Right, at the Right time. IEE provides the framework for achieving maximum, measurable, predictable and sustainable bottom-line results.
