Achieving Peak Performance with Real-time Business |
 |
An Optimize Editorial Perspectives TechWebCast
The phrase “ruthless execution” may have a harsh ring to it, but it captures the essence of the strategies that business leaders such as John Chambers (Cisco), Steve Kaufman (Arrow Electronics) and Dan Vasella (Novartis) have used to overcome tough challenges. As part of these strategies, effective implementation of process optimization and enabling real-time business offer a variety of rewards to a company, including financial and working-capital benefits, reductions in inventory, improvements in productivity and quality, and a scalable, agile platform for growth. These, in fact, are the building blocks of a ruthless execution plan.
You will learn how to:
- Enable real-time business and process optimization at the enterprise level to increase ROI and maintain a competitive edge
- Identify your company’s critical capabilities and apply them to cost management, working-capital management, and technology-driven productivity improvement.
- Connect cost drivers to your company’s value-creation mechanisms.
- Create stronger ties between business and IT management teams.
