Justifying V2R "No Excuses" Strategy Execution is easy. Overcoming the early adopters risk of a radical new approach toward improving strategy execution in your organization is not so easy.

Ironically, your organization has made substantial investments in technology to drive best practice solutions across most functional disciplines. These existing markets are overrun with solutions that optimize most business processes. These solutions include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Computer Aided Design & Manufacture (CAD/CAM), Business Performance Management (BPM) and Project Management (PM) just to name a few.

ERP systems have come a long way integrating what were previously diverse business initiatives. However, the ERP systems are still transaction based and focused on business processes. ERP systems do not achieve associate accountability that assures the business processes are completed effectively and efficiently.

V2R NESE is the missing link that is capable of tying all diverse strategic initiatives in an organization together through a standard web based application that drives associate level accountability. High achievers are easily identified and rewarded instilling a continuous improvement culture. Poor performers are also easily identified along with their specific development opportunities leading to improvement or well documented termination for cause.

Unlike all other technology investments, V2R NESE directly affects ALL associates within an organization. The Return On Investment (ROI) achieved through associate level accountability for the effective and efficient completion of strategically aligned goals includes the following:

Performance Improvement
We previously reviewed how Performance Measurement is only the beginning of the strategy execution process. Performance Management is the essential component of NESE and the foundation that drives performance improvement throughout an organization.

Revenue & Profit Growth
Top and bottom line growth are tied to the effective and timely execution of all strategic initiatives across an organization. V2R NESE creates associate level accountability that drives effective and timely completion of the strategic initiatives.

Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Achieving a sustainable competitive advantage in today's technology based global economy presents a huge challenge. Technologies are abundant to quickly reverse engineer most existing products and services. Intellectual property (i.e., patents) that achieves a sustainable competitive advantage is also difficult to achieve.

Using the V2R NESE process to transition all associates in an organization to readily embrace continuous improvement results in a huge sustainable competitive advantage. Not only are the improvements cumulative, but the rate of continuous improvement also increases leaving the competition further and further behind.

Succeed Fast / Realign Fast
A huge by-product of the V2R NESE process is the emphasis on "Less is More!" Focusing on fewer goals allows limited resources to score strategic goals sooner and reap the benefits. Additionally, integrating V2R with a good Project Management software package that manages the prototype phase and end-to-end pilot phase supports early discovery and realignment without wasting excessive resources.

People Working on the Right Thing
Cascading an organizations strategy to group level tactics to associate level goals assures that all associates are assigned the right goals to work on. Achieving associate level accountability assures that these associates also work on the goals they are assigned.

Accountability to Higher Standards
Accountability in most organization is Seat-Of-the-Pants (SOP) and highly subjective. The V2R NESE process radically changes this norm and forces all associates throughout an organization to be accountable to higher standards based on objective criteria.

Risk Reduction
Sure, you must have an early adopter's mentality to assume the risk of a new application like this, but remember we are practitioners, not consultants. We started developing our V2R NESE process back in 1996 and have been using it to drive strategy and achieve accountability at Revcor since then. We would never suggest that you risk anything that we have not already tried and proven.

Ease of Use
The V2R NESE process was developed with the sole intent of helping organizations improve their ability to execute strategy. Because of V2R's sole purpose the user interface is much simpler in design that if it had evolved from some other business application. However, the behind the scenes complexity to deliver our user friendly application cannot be underestimated.
