A comprehensive Management System translates the strategic vision and annual objectives into a connected operations system that is understood and implemented organization-wide.
What It Is?
A Management System is an integrated set of processes, tools and technology to help develop strategy and annual objectives, translate them into operational actions, and monitor the effectiveness of both. This framework empowers managers and employees to drive process improvement on a daily basis in alignment with the organization’s strategic direction.
Why It Matters?
A Management System helps organizations achieve strategic objectives, sustain improvements, create and maintain a facility for change, meet and exceed customer expectations, attain high-performance objectives and gain competitive advantage.
How It Works?
A Management System helps align daily business activities with long-term strategy execution — cascading objectives and measures deep into the organization.
