Growth becomes more challenging as organizations scale and increase in complexity. Data is often sitting in siloed systems, hampering data-driven decisions. New processes have been layered on top of previous processes. The resulting confusion reduces efficiency and effectiveness. Your growth depends on every part of your organization being performance-driven and leveraging the benefits of a Center of Excellence (CoE). This means every function needs to excel in at least four areas:
- Establishing a set of measurable performance standards tied to business results
- A pointed focus on outcomes
- Clear lines of accountability
- Using analytics and models derived from data to drive continuous improvement and facilitate customer-centric decisions
Creating and implementing an effective Center of Excellence helps to overcome growth-inhibiting challenges. A CoE provides leadership, fosters and shares best practices, benchmarks performance, facilitates research, and enhances the skills needed for a focused area. It provides the entire organization with visibility into relevant quality and operational performance management parameters. It fosters better decision making with greater confidence.
