PPG - A management tool for Predictable Profitable Growth
Predictability. Profitability. Growth. You need all three to achieve maximum results and stakeholder value.
What I love about PPG is that you can use it as a management tool to guide a company and management team. If you identify one or two areas of strength, then you can focus on the other areas. You can develop specific projects and tactics to help develop the model and you can rally a management team around the whole philosophy.
At PL Developments, we had strong profitable growth but limited predictability. The company had grown from a small family-owned business where it was easy to react to variations in demand, supply, and production. As the company grew, it became harder and harder to react without accurate predictions. We put in place initiatives to improve predictability throughout the organization, including:
Of course there were many facets to these initiatives and they all required technology and systems support, business process change, and most importantly - a change in culture.
