Philosophy: In business optimization, the key issue is always the alignment of people and systems towards the common goal. Whether it is an IT project, an SCM project, or another change process, the key to success or failure is the extent to which people have an inherent goal directing them towards a clear objective that is supported by everyone. Unfortunately, many of the current management techniques have a negative impact on alignment. Outdated theories like Management by Objectives and many techniques from managerial accounting stimulate the formation of silos and local optimization, with the consequence that a lot of energy is wasted on internal tensions, annoying resistance, and even dissension. While dealing with internal issues, companies miss the chance to give customers the service they deserve and lose revenue. But it can change. Not by appealing once again to the benevolence of the people, but by reducing or even removing the source of the conflicts of interest.
