This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide 4 Schools of Strategy PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the Execution School within the framework of Operational Excellence. It emphasizes the importance of an internal focus for organizations, contrasting it with the external orientation of the Position School. The core message is that profitability is driven by the effective development and deployment of better practices, processes, technologies, human capital, and products.
To achieve Operational Excellence, the slide outlines 4 essential building blocks: Strategy Deployment, Performance Management, Process Excellence, and High Performance Work Teams. Each of these components plays a critical role in forming an integrated Business Execution System that organizations must implement to succeed. The focus on these areas suggests a structured approach to aligning resources and efforts towards continuous improvement.
Operational Excellence is closely linked to established management philosophies such as Six Sigma and Lean Management. The slide highlights that the underlying principle is Continuous Improvement, which requires organizations to prioritize customer needs, empower employees, and optimize existing processes. This approach not only enhances efficiency, but also drives sustainable growth.
The section on Representative Strategic Thinking lists influential works and authors, such as W. Edwards Deming and Ram Charan, indicating a foundation of thought leadership that supports the Execution School's principles. This reference to established literature reinforces the credibility of the concepts presented.
Overall, the slide serves as a foundational introduction to the Execution School, making it clear that a systematic approach to internal processes is vital for achieving long-term success and operational excellence.
This slide is part of the 4 Schools of Strategy PowerPoint presentation.
