Decisions around prioritization have been crucial this year. By measuring the business values of all the different initiatives, you can establish the proper priorities. For example, we used Celonis, a process mining tool, to reduce the cycle time in Latin America by almost 50% by identifying bottlenecks in the order-to-invoice and order-to-delivery cycles.

Additionally, if we have a complex problem, we have the knowledge and talent to solve them. When a problem arises, we can break it down and simplify it into smaller pieces that everyone can understand, ensuring that everyone understands the problem to solve it. We’ve simplified our cost-to-deliver model in Latin America, which resulted in a lot of cost savings, and we were then able to implement that model and focus our efforts on doing the same in other parts of the world.

My board experience has primarily been with board members that are not technical. The approach I take is to "translate" technical bits into business impact information. It seems many non-technical board members care most ...read more
