Effective Enterprise Management (EEM): What is it?

The last decade of the 20th century saw significant advances in performance measurement systems on top of large amounts of data generated by ERP systems. Balanced scorecards have become common place. While it is generally true that 'you get what you measure', this axiom lacks a quality dimension. Managers might be measured on X or Y, but do they have the tools to truly influence the outcomes of X and Y? Even more fundamental, are managers provided with the requisite insight into X and Y to ensure that their decisions will have the desired result? EEM is Alta Via's response to this quality gap.

Elements of EEM

EEM combines a number of key elements into a single coherent approach to effectively managing and enterprise. These elements are:

Trained and motivated managers,
Managerial processes,
Organizational processes - in particular performance measurement and reward processes,
Relevant information - information that is scenario, situation and decision relevant.

With EEM managers are not only measured, their processes are explicitly accommodated, they are also provided tools, methods, information and an understanding of how to effectively and efficiently influence outcomes in their areas of responsibility.
