Strategy Implementation • E-C Value Creation • Process Redesign • Change Management • IT Project Management
E-C Value Creation: Five Levers • Time (cycle time reduction) • Distance (overcome distance) • Relationships (trust and loyalty) • Interactions (chat, bboard, community) • Product (enhancements, new products)
Three types of Value Creation • Efficiency or cost reduction • Effectiveness or better decisions • Strategic or competitive advantage

Process Definition Process: A set of activities to produce output for customer/market - Set of inputs + Ordered activities - Cost, time, quality & customer satisfaction - Dynamic view of how value is created Focus:How, not just what Organizational Structure: Cross functional teams

Efficiency Functional Same old rules Control Low risk, low gain Automation vs. Reengineering
Principles of Process Design • Focus on outcomes, not tasks • Do it yourself (Production buys from certified suppliers) • Integrate information processing with real work (Ford) • Treat distributed work as centralized (Global buying) • Link parallel activities while in process, not at the end • Match decision point with work location (empower) • Capture information once, and at the source

Role of Information • Process performance monitoring (quality control) • Process integration (information as process glue) • Process customization (mass customization) • Information rich processes (e.g., financial sector) • Management processes (need external/informal data)

What is the new economy? • A loosely defined concept to explain the stock market boom in 90s and Internet explosion! • Earlier uses have described service economy, globalization, and corporate restructuring. • The IT productivity paradox was finally set aside in late 90s. • The longest economic expansion ending in Mar ‘01 was often attributed to the new economy.

Change Management • Change is the only certainty in the business world! • Assess the abilities & disabilities of the organization as a whole • The ability of an organization to conceptualize and manage change enables it to compete from the inside out • How can organizations change faster then their environment? • How can mature incumbents effect change?
Organization Life Cycleand Change Challenges Organization Life cycle Change challenges Entrepreneurial Growth Maturity Decline Niche identification (Amazon) Survival shakeout (Dot-coms) Renewal (Whirlpool: Functional to Business units) Open/flexible Closed/inflexible Restructuring Bureaucracy bashing Employee involvement Continuous improvement Cultural change Right work Improved work Reenergizing Open/flexible
Renewal of Organizations • Many cannot renew within, and fall prey to consolidations, acquisitions and mergers. How do organizations overcome the renewal challenge? • By altering their strategy, structure and systems. • By changing the mindset (accepted behavior / attitudes) • By focusing on customer perspective (external / internal customer satisfaction in performance appraisal system) • By reducing cycle time (boundaries inside / outside) • By empowering employees who act as leaders
A Process for Re-energizing Mature Organizations 5. SUSTAINED COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE (Magnitude of Long-Term Impact) • Mindset • Leadership • Work Employees no longer feel part of mature organization! 4. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT •Simplicity •Speed • Service Focus on “right” work! Supplies Customers Change/Impact 3. EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT • Involvement • Job Design • Communication Profit sharing, access to management! 2. BUREAUCRACY “BASHING” • Reports •Meetings • Approvals • Measures Replace low-value work! Right work Improved work 1. RESTRUCTURING • Downsizing • Delayering Be fair yet bold! Time

What is Disruptive Change? • Sustaining Innovations • Improve product in ways customers value • Disruptive Innovations • A new market for a new product which is worse, not better, than competing products • Incumbents possess capabilities to foster Sustaining Innovations, and disabilities to embrace Disruptive Innovations
How Can Incumbents Manage Disruptive Change? • Creating new capabilities internally: Pull the relevant people out of the existing organization, draw a new boundary around the new group, and create a new process. Examples? • Creating new capabilities thru a spinout: If you need a new cost structure or if the opportunity is small, a spinout may work. No need to compete with mainstream organization for resources. Often used by incumbent companies to deal with the Internet. • Creating new capabilities thru acquisitions: Easier if capabilities stem from resources only.
Common Change Implementation Problems • Longer than anticipated • Major new problem • Coordination not effective • Competing programs and crises • Employee capabilities insufficient • Training and instruction inadequate • Uncontrollable external factors
