Executing Your Strategy
Mark Morgan, Raymond E. Levitt and William Malek
December 19, 2007
Why do businesses consistently fail to execute their competitive strategies? Because leaders don't identify and invest in the full range of projects and programs required to align the organization with its strategy. Moreover, even when strategy makers do break their plans down into doable chunks, they seldom work with project leaders to prioritize strategic investments and assure that needed resources are applied in priority order. And they often neglect to revise the strategic portfolio to fit the demands of a dynamic environment, or to stay connected to strategic projects through completion, as new products, services, skills and capabilities are transferred into operations.

Implementing Enterprise Data Warehousing
by Alan Schlukbier
December 7, 2007
Designing complex analytical data structures is difficult enough, but to do it for an entire enterprise becomes a real challenge. This little primer provides a simple method of preparing your people for the complexity of this endeavor. This is just like opening a new restaurant where certain components have to be designed and thought out before you start to build the kitchen. You do not have to be an "expert" to build a data warehouse. A lot can be outsourced, but you do need to be able to create your own plan according to your culture's specific requirements. Some cultures take more 'informing' and 'training' than others. The pace and aggressiveness with which you unfold your plan is something that you understand best. This primer defines the data warehouse components and helps you decide when they can be done, in what order, and by how many people.

Paul Harmon
November 12, 2007
You've picked up the right book for just about any goal you have in process management.

If you are an owner or improver of a particular process, theres an entire section devoted to managing particular processes. If you're charged with using IT to support processes, you are similarly in luck. The book should be on the desk, in the briefcase, or on the bedside table of anyone who believes business processes are an important way to understand businesses and make them better.
