The lighthouse approach of AT-IPIC is unique in its simplicity and informative in its decision-making strength.
A control tower is ridged in its format and inflexible as the target set at the beginning is the one you need to achieve. With the potential of continuously volatile markets, speed of change in technology, and an ever-dynamic competitive environment there are some elements the control function needs to embody. AT-IPIC offers a system which:
- Continuously looks at the horizon, in all directions, identifying opportunities and risks
- Makes action ownership transparent ensuing that efforts are sustainable and continuous rather than annual and budgeted.
- Looks into the future to give early warning of hazards and helps navigate the treacherous waters of cognitive bias, uneven playing fields and wants rather than needs.
The two management focus areas of planning and execution run at different speeds enabling a faster response when it is called for rather than waiting for the next meeting.
It leverages the investment strategy to the level of right project, right time, right place and is focused on reducing the level of vulnerability to your strategic goals. Once spent, and the value confirmed, the actions are not forgotten but become the foundation on which other improvements can be based closing the cycle and generating the 3% productivity improvement needed for sustainability.
