Today, the 3rd issue of the Journal of Management Excellence was posted. Download it here.
“People, Process and Technology” is how Ravi TNC puts it in his article in this 3rd Journal of Management Excellence. These are the three pillars for change management, and it defines the scope for what we need to organize. This Journal of Management Excellence focuses again on “Organizing for Management Excellence”, like the last issue. Many organizations are now beyond the business case of how to get started with business intelligence and performance management, and are looking for ways how to embed it in the organization. One of the most important success factors is having a center of excellence (COE), or competence center. In the previous issue of the Journal, we described how such a COE should look like, and we described the various types. In this issue we also look into the future, with a contribution from Jorgen Heizenberg, Principal Technology Officer at CapGemini, about what’s beyond the center of excellence. Further, Telecom Italia shares its best practices.
But there is more to organizing for management excellence than establishing a COE. Robin Peel makes the case for data governance, and he describes how we should particularly organize master data. We shouldn’t organize for management excellence just to save costs or for the sake of it. Nigel Youell, who led a research project together with Cranfield University, describes what organizations should do to recognize success.
On a different note, I’d like to share with you that the Journal is now also translated into Japanese.
The next issue of the Journal will be about creating value. I’d welcome your contribution, please contact me.
