Introducing Operational Excellence Frameworks

by Dave Tracy on September 28, 2014 · No Comments

This week, LearnPPT added a new section to their site: Operational Excellence.

What exactly is Operational Excellence?

Operational Excellence is a set of business principles, tools, and frameworks aimed to achieving sustainable improvement of key performance metrics. Much of this management philosophy is based on continuous improvement methodologies, such as Lean Management (or Lean Enterprise), Six Sigma, Kaizen, Hoshin Kanri, 5S Workplace Productivity, and PDCA. The focus of Operational Excellence goes beyond the traditional event-based model of improvement toward a long-term change in organizational culture.

The page is currently divided into 4 main sections:

Questions, thoughts, concerns?  Go to my site (learnppt.com) and shoot me an email.

For other business frameworks, visit our library of consulting-quality business frameworks and methodologies here: http://learnppt.com/powerpoint/frameworks/.  These diagrams were professionally designed by management consultants. Give your presentations the look and feel of a final product made by McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Booz Allen, Deloitte, or any of the top consulting firms.

What Is the Value of Strategy without Execution?

by Dave Tracy on September 25, 2014 · No Comments

Strategy without execution is hallucination! - Mike Roach

Without execution, strategy is merely theory.  Most frameworks, guides, and business gurus who discuss corporate strategy focus purely on the theory of great strategy, but don’t teach the art of great execution.
LearnPPT’s latest framework covers the topic of Strategy Execution and Organizational Effectiveness.
 A great strategy may put you on the competitive map, but only great execution can keep you there. Most organizations struggle with execution. They understand the strategy, but can’t translate that vision into the day-to-day changes to operations and actual implementation.
This document addresses the art and principles of business strategy execution. Topics include:
  • 4 Building Blocks of Strategy Execution
  • 17 Traits of Successful Strategy Execution
  • Transformation Program Design
  • Balanced Scorecard Overview
  • Blue Ocean Strategy (4 Organizational Hurdles)


The document will explain various frameworks related to business strategy execution and includes PowerPoint templates to be used for your own presentations and analysis.
