Breakthrough Business Results With MVT


Book Description

The first and only guide to using MVT as a breakthrough management tool MVT(TM) (Multivariable Testing) has been heralded as a breakthrough business tool in major publications such as Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Business-Week. Although MVT could become one of the most widely used management tools and has been applied by leading companies in every industry to create billions of dollars of value-no book on it has been published, until now. In Breakthrough Business Results with MVT, MVT creator and guru Charles Holland shows managers how multivariable testing-an advanced mathematical method that allows simultaneous testing of up to 40 variables-can dramatically improve efficiency and profits in any organization. MVT reveals to managers precisely which factors have a positive impact on any important business decision or process, which have a negative impact, and which have no impact at all. Very often the results are radically counterintuitive. MVT identifies quickly the best ways for a company to make major improvements, such as boosting sales, reducing waste, increasing production, enhancing advertising strategies, or optimizing service levels. Faster and cheaper than other quality improvement methodologies such as Six Sigma, MVT is a natural tool for any organization that wants to reduce the amount of guesswork and politics when making crucial business decisions. In Breakthrough Business Results with MVT, Holland reveals the dramatic benefits that have made true believers of top executives in such companies as Lowe's, Ameritech, Williams-Sonoma, DuPont, Pacific Bell, and Boise, among others. Charles Holland, PhD (Knoxville, TN), is principal and founder of QualPro, Inc., the leading MVT consultancy in the world. QualPro's work has been celebrated in most major business publications, and they have consulted to senior executives at many Fortune 500 companies. QualPro regularly conducts seminars on MVT, and their work has been widely publicized. *MVT is a trademark of QualPro, Inc.




Achieving Successful Business Outcomes


Book Description

"Navigating in space is exponentially more difficult than navigating on the road - because there are too many directions to investigate, too many unknowns to be prepared for and infinite pathways to chart in the galactic system. So, it is with business. Business environments are extremely demanding and change continuously, precipitated by an innumerable number of actors and conditions. Business success can no more be predicated on the pedigree of a leader or a prescribed theory alone and the startups have amply proven this. Large companies have tried to copy the nimble-footed startups while startups after achieving a certain size have been forced to adopt unchartered path. Disruptions seems to be the order of the day. Achieving Successful Business Outcomes is about achieving successful business outcomes. Just like an aircraft has a rich dashboard of dials but only a critical few need to be monitored continuously while other subsets warrant attention only during specific phases of the flight, a well modelled business can be managed successfully using a similar strategy. But the larger question is how to model a business, with closely correlated variables, that represents the reality of the environment and allows devising, formulating and adjusting business strategy and actions in real-time. The author uses a simple but well-researched STA-Triangle (Space, time and action) model to achieve this purpose. The core of the STA Model is to help navigate effectively in a rapidly changing business environment. Unlike traditional business studies that use a single lens to define business rules or organizational practices, it uses the combination of space, time and action as the driver of outcomes - something fundamental and core to human thinking across the ages. This book contains both theoretical and practical applications, the former that can help propel further research and analysis, while the latter can help practicing leaders to drive their firms forward, confidently, in any environmental conditions. It will also help casual readers to understand how the future is evolving and how different organizations are responding to this change. The author includes more than a hundred supporting case studies and tools that help create highly incisive and unique views for calibrating strategy and execution"--
