STAGE.1 INTRODUCING EV MANAGEMENT & MEASURES TO SENIOR MANAGERS

For all their working lives most managers have been working in and with the techniques and methods of 'CURRENT' MANAGEMENT. This has been around for at least 40 years and is a combination of several management methods the principles and practise of which were developed during the 1900s. These include Theory X (also known as Taylorism after the famous American Industrial Engineer) and Theory Y (also called Participative Management which embodies S.T.S., the Socio-Technical System developed jointly by the Americans and English at the Tavistock Institute in the UK).

The problem is that this combination of systems is missing over 10 major elements to provide a comprehensive, integrated "top-down" management methodology. These missing elements mean amongst other things that it is not possible to accurately measure a company's performance and equally importantly decide which "bottom-up" techniques are needed in order of priority to produce a steady continuous improvement in financial and overall business performances.
This leads to the ad hoc, "hit or miss" approach to continuous improvement  in financial and overall business perfromances currently being used by most Western companies.

Therefore the first stage towards real rapid continuous improvement is for your company's senior management team to obtain an overview of EV Management and Measures and how it differs or adds to your "Current Management" methodology.
This overview is best provided by a one to two hour presentation which includes examples from other companies of the use of EV Management and the integrated measurement system. A discussion for up to a further one hour or so follows where managers can discuss their company and which parts of EV may be of prime importance to be introduced as rapidly as possible and what the implications are for any current development program they may be using or are planning to use.
Go to "2 Company Diagnosis" for the next stage.
