You need to develop an operations management plan and want a guide to do so. What if you had one tool that you could carry into meetings and write inside, that guided you step-by-step to build the business case for your operations strategy, generate the size-of-the-prize, guide your team, design the tests for the hypotheses, conduct focus interviews, analyze how good your company wants to be (value-gap analyses), analyze how good they should be (external benchmarking), analyze how good they can be (internal benchmarking), calculate what they should aspire to (top-down business case), calculate the bottom-up benefits case, lay the foundation for a pilot implementation, track your daily and weekly tasks, plan each major meeting, plan the message for your team and manager, manage the project and guide you through critical update meetings?
