Certificate Course in Enterprise Performance Management

introduction

Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) is the integration of multiple managerial methods to improve an organization’s strategic & operational performance.

The individual methods comprising EPM and ways and means to seamlessly integrate them is the main focus of this course as integration of methods is as important as the method itself

Embedding analytics into each method makes EPM even more powerful.

Lead FacultyDr. T.V. Subramanian, Dr.N.Chandarsekaran, Dr. G. Balasubramanian, Dr.R. Jayaram & Prof Manivannan Rajan
  • Did you know the vast majority of organizations fail to successfully execute their strategy? (per Dr. David Norton, co-author of the Balanced Scorecard)
  • Organizations often have key performance indicators (KPIs)…
    • Those are not aligned with the strategy.
    • Those are far too many in number.
    • Those do not cascade down into operational measures useful to employees.
  • Do you know which 20% of your products, service-lines, channels, and customers may be unprofitable? Which 20% are truly the most profitable?
  • Accounting systems lack reporting transparency and visibility of costs.
  • Do managers and employees know and effectively manage root cause cost drivers?
  • Few companies, if any, know which types of customers are most profitable to retain, grow, win-back, and acquire. There is an illusion that the highest sales customers are also the most profitable ones.
  • The annual budget process is ineffective. Budgets are quickly obsolete. Volatility and uncertainty are here to stay. There is poor preparation to shift to capacity-sensitive, driver-based, rolling financial forecasts.
  • There is a lack of insight, knowledge, and business intelligence data. There is excessive reliance on intuition and gut feel rather than fact-based decision making.
  • There’s an inability to anticipate trouble early on, and an absence of reliable forecasting and predictive analytics.
  • Many are unable to identify the cause for low productivity, high costs, or questionable lean management initiatives.
  • Progressive managerial accounting practices, including activity-based costing (ABC), provide accurate costs (with detailed visibility of causality) of processes, products, services, channels, and customers, for profitability analysis, decisions, and actions.(4 sessions)
  • Reliable forecasting with calibrated, driver-based cost consumption rates allows a shift from the annual budget to continuous capacity-sensitive rolling financial forecasts.(1 session)
  • Road map for successful roll out of Managerial accounting systems in an ERP environment (2 session)
  • Understanding cost behavior, pricing strategies and Strategic variance analysis (4 sessions)
  • A strategy map and its companion Balanced Scorecard communicate the organization’s mission and strategic objectives in terms everyone can understand. Combined, they identify KPIs essential for accountability and to align employee behavior and priorities with the strategy.(1 session)
  • Analytics (e.g., regression, segmentation, correlation) provide insight and foresight with fact-based information. (4 sessions)
  • Analytics enabled investigation and testing as well as moving from possibilities to probabilities (e.g., what-if scenario analysis).[2 session]
  • Modeling with software is foundational in EPM methods to reflect the reality of cause-and-effect relationships. [2 sessions]

The Pedagogy would consist of a mix of lectures, exercise, real life situations and case analysis, news, video analysis. In addition the participants (based on their profile) would be exposed to industry specific examples throughout the discussion. Great deal of emphasis would be placed on discussing real time issues faced by the participants.

  • Functional/departmental heads involved in strategy formulation and implementation in various functional areas of operations, production, quality control, marketing, Accounting, Costing, corporate finance, etc.
  • Students pursuing professional courses and with a keen interest in Operations and cost management
