Excellence Roadmap… Connecting the Dots
Previously we talked about how everything in life starts and ends with people. By aligning our “hearts and minds” around Human
Excellence, we continue to create an even more trusting and collaborative culture. By encouraging and ensuring people understand
the importance of working together to succeed, we naturally “Keep Getting Better”.
In this issue, we will now turn our attention to the next step in our Operation T.E.A.M.work journey focused on well-informed business
decisions through Informational Excellence.
» Human Excellence: Helping People Perform Together To
Enable “Shared Success”
» Informational Excellence: Bringing Data, Processes, &
Systems Together To Create “Business Intelligence”
» Operational Excellence: Establishing Visibility, Consistency,
& Accountability To Drive “Stakeholder Value”
» Commercial Excellence: Aligning With Our Strategic
Partners To Deliver “Value-Based Solutions & Services”
Critical Thinking + Fact Based Decision Making
Basically, Informational Excellence is bringing together all of
our data, processes, and systems to deliver improved business
results based on facts and business intelligence. In other words,
it uses all of the information and experiences we have across our
company and enables it with innovation and technology to make it
readily available to everyone.
A good example is our web-based MyMiller intranet, which is continuing to evolve as a central location for much of our internal
information. We are now at a point where we can dramatically increase visibility of key business information, continue to promote
consistency, and leverage all of our collective knowledge in one place. Other examples of Informational Excellence at work include
standardizing our travel & expense reporting using Concur, implementing Google as our core platform, enhancing the management of
our fleet using Fleetmatics, and a number of ongoing efforts around BIM (Building Information Modeling). Additionally, improving the
availability of key information will enable us to keep our clients even more well informed. An example of this is our standardized Daily
Summary Report generated out of our Foreman Virtual Toolbox.
Next Up… Operational Excellence
As we continue asking ourselves how
to “Keep Getting Better”, remember
Operation T.E.A.M.work is a journey
and mindset, not simply an event. It
differentiates us in an increasingly
competitive world. It provides alignment,
consistency, and clarity in our improvement
activities. It reminds us that We Are
1Miller, we are always here for our clients,
and we are committed to providing Total
Excellence in all we do!
Next edition, we will continue to build on
our foundation of Human and Informational
Excellence by exploring how to add even
more value to our business through
Operational Excellence.
