FOREWORD
Welcome to the Industry Advisory Report on Operational Excellence. This report captures the synopsis of the discussion and analysis held by the panel on Operational Excellence at the LASSIB CXO th Round Table Conference held in Mumbai on 14 July 2012. The conference had six focused themes driven towards achieving Organizational Excellence. These include: 1. Delivering Customer Value 2. Employee Satisfaction & Engagement 3. Improving Profitability 4. Learning and Development 5. Operational Excellence 6. Revenue Growth All the above, including Operational excellence are key to achieving excellence within any organization, be it a part of any business domain, geography or size. In this report we focus on the central views discussed towards state of Operational excellence and continuous improvement initiatives that organizations are working towards, or need to think about in order to excel. The exciting discussions and perspectives brought forward by a diversified set of CXOs indicate the current state of operational excellence practices in the industry, along with the challenges, opportunities for improvement and expected trends in the coming years. As economies and industries across the globe face difficult times, these findings serve a critical purpose. The point of views and suggestions in this report are generic and thought provoking in nature. This has been purposely done without providing references to specific industries as these can be applied to any organization striving for operational excellence. These findings should be used not only by functional leaders to gauge their readiness for change, but also by CXOs across the organizations to define how to best structure and align their continuous improvement initiatives to match the overall goals and vision of the organization. Please note that this report is the consolidation of the point of views of the panel in their individual capacity and is not endorsed by their respective organizations. This report has been made possible by seamless support of the Panel Chair, Panel Chief Editor, Panel Members, the LASSIB team and 9Pixels as the media partner for LASSIB. We hope you find the report valuable and helpful when defining the direction of your improvement initiatives.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A decade ago the top priority list of a CXO used to be a very simple, crisp list including areas like enhancing core competencies, moving work to low cost destinations, capturing market share in emerging markets and so on. Today, post Lehman and the global credit crunch it is a new era, an era of black Swans and rapid technology obsolescence. These dynamic market developments have proved that they are capable of turning tables for market leaders by eroding their customer base and market share, sometimes in less than one quarter of a year. Organizations across the globe are facing unique challenges which are not always easy to comprehend and are influenced by many uncontrollable variables. These challenges could range from currency fluctuations, sovereign debt crisis to global terrorism. The business confidence is low and every penny spent is being questioned. In this new world where raising capital for expansion is extremely difficult and consistent cash flows are a key priority, operational excellence in core business processes seems to be the focus areas for each CXO. Given the above state of affairs, the challenges that organizations are grappling with include: Achieving Operational Excellence is viewed as the responsibility of senior management and quality team only, and not a responsibility of everyone Lack of a consistent long term, common vision for the entire enterprise Obtaining Continuous Customer feedback as a vital input to improve products and services Innovation and breakthrough improvements, as enterprises can no longer sustain themselves through incremental improvements Enterprises are not investing in their biggest asset People, in their drive to improve operational efficiencies
Some of the interventions required to address these key challenges include: Enterprises have to think global and long term. It is not good enough to be better than your competitor(s) in your backyard. In this globalized world, enterprises need to constantly identify early, changing customer behaviors, analyze patterns and trends, and innovate to create a niche for themselves. They need to build an organizational culture which will not only adapt to change but welcome it. They need to assess their organizations processes against globally accepted performance measures and models like Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, European Foundation of Quality Management (EFQM) and achieve breakthrough improvement by adopting Lean Six Sigma. The need of the hour is not about being good enough, in what is currently being done in their day to day operations and improving incrementally. That is a must for any organization to stay alive. Enterprises have to constantly benchmark with competition across the globe. This benchmarking should enable the organizations to innovate and achieve breakthrough improvements. Enterprises need to act responsibly to communities and strictly follow the rule of the land. Compliance risks like non adherence to regulations and safety measures, can catapult any market leader out of trade.

From now to the new world In the long run, enterprises should build an organizational culture where, irrespective of their functions, Operational Excellence becomes everybodys responsibility and each employee strives towards adding value to business and end customer. The life cycle of a product or service would need to be shortened keeping in mind that time to market would become the key differentiator for all organizations. In order to achieve this, enterprises would have to invest heavily in processes which ensure First Time Right (FTR) and First to Market (FTM). In tomorrows world, enterprises will be valued not only based only on their business potential and top and bottom-line growth, but also based on how responsible they are to the community in which they operate, to mother nature, and ultimately to their end customer(s).

The industry advisor reports (IAR) are a humble endeavor by LASSIB to bring together the industry titans to brainstorm on the current challenges and propose long term solutions for addressing these challenges. The IAR on operational excellence is one among them. The industry advisor report on operational excellence gives a synopsis of what CXOs across industries shared about the current and future operational challenges and antidote for addressing them. This report is a testimony of what CXOs felt about how organizations and employees perceive operational excellence and how nimble they are to acclimatize to the changing environments and customer needs. It also reiterates the fact that there is no quick pill for excellence and the necessity to think, invest and act on long term goals. The report concludes by their view points on how operational excellence will be perceived in the new world. Mr. Radhakrishnan Balagopal (Panel Chief Editor) Lead Consultant, Capgemini
