Abstract: 
Operational excellence enables an enterprise and its leadership to continuously improve all areas of performance, including decision- making, ongoing investment, profitability, customer and partner services and human resources capabilities. Operationally excellent enterprises possess the processes and structures–or the “intangible assets”–that give them the visibility, control, tools, and management practices necessary to drive greater operational effectiveness and efficiency….
