We take into account the roles of people in each intersection, the performance markers that need to be tracked and more importantly, the technologies that will enable each Performance Marker to be managed through the Business Foundation xPM cycle.

BELOW THE LINE - LIFT-OFF INITIATIVES

Below the line as we like to call it, is the plan and initiative and ultimate realization of what was discovered in the Discovery Analysis. These are the Lift-off initiatives are started. It's where the rubber really hits the road.

This is where we take all the Broad Sheets that have been filled in with the different participating executives and consolidate them up into common themes. These common themes may consist of several Performance Markers that are key drivers of the strategic objectives. These tehn, and the other performance markers that drive them, are the areas where the business needs to focus.

But, the try to execute on all these initaives at the same time would prove challenging, if not impossible. Therefore, the Lift-off Initiative was created. This is the start of a comprehensive, yet quickly executable, initiative that can help bring focus in the business to an area that directly drives a strategic objectives and therefore hits the bottom line positively. The Business Foundation brings to this process a whole methodology of taking each initiative and helping to work through the people, processes and technologies that will make it possible.
