An execution management system helps managers do two very simple things:

1. Keep all work across all departments and across all levels of management tightly coordinated.
2. Exercise proactive control - stamp out small problems before they become big problems that require firefighting.

At first glance, this might not seem overly impressive - but look at what happens in New Product Development, Construction, Rx Discovery and Development, Maintenance/Repair/Overhaul (MRO), and IT Systems Development. Does any of the following seem familiar?

You create plans but, as uncertainties and delays hit, they go awry. Everyone starts working to different priorities. People get pulled into multiple directions. The entire team is working hard but there are no end results. Managers find out about problems, only after the fact - when nothing can be done except to cut scope or spend more money.

The implications of the above are dramatic…missed revenues, lost market share and costly overruns.
That is why systematically managing execution is so important.
