Stage 1 Initiate Action Plan

• Identify Mission
• 1st Trigger Question - THINGS TO DO
• List of THINGS TO DO
• Create ISM from THINGS TO DO - Intent Structure
• Initiate Action Plan from Intent Structure
• Create FR from THINGS TO DO if required

4
Stage II Integrate ways to overcome Barriers, etc

• 2nd Trigger Question - BARRIERS/
  DIFFICULTIES/THREATS (BDT)
• List of BDT
• Identify ways to overcome BDT
• Integrate ways to overcome BDT into Action Plan
• Create FR from BDT if required, link to Action
  Plan

5
Stage III Integrate ways to to use STRENGTHS
available, create STRENGTHS needed etc

• 3rd Trigger Question - STRENGTHS
• List of STRENGTHS
• Identify ways to use STRENGTHS, to create
  STRENGTHS
• Integrate ways of using STRENGTHS available,
  create STRENGTHS needed into Action Planning
• Create FR of STRENGTHS available/ STRENGTHS
  required - Integrate with Action Plan

6
Stage IV Integrate ways to overcome WEAKNESSES

• 4th Trigger Question - WEAKNESSES
• List of WEAKNESSES
• Identify ways to overcome WEAKNESSES
• Integrate ways of overcoming WEAKNESSES into
  Action Planning
• Create FR from WEAKNESSES (join into BDT FR if
  felt appropriate) integrate with Action Plan

7
Stage V Integrate ways avail OPPORTUNITIES

• 5th Trigger Question - OPPORTUNITIES
• List of OPPORTUNITIES
• Identify ways to avail OPPORTUNITIES
• Integrate ways of availing OPPORTUNITIES into
  Action Planning
• Create FR from OPPORTUNITIES - Integrate with
  Action Plan

8
Stage VI Identify Events/Milestones

• 6th Trigger Question - EVENTS/MILESTONES
• List of EVENTS/MILESTONES
• Identify ways to ensure occurrence of EVENTS/
  MILESTONES -- Integrate ways of ensuring
  occurrence of planned EVENTS/MILESTONES into
  Action Planning
• Create FR with EVENTS/MILESTONES - Integrate with
  Action Plan

What the OPMS can do for you
11
Using OPMS, people involved can always see the
linkages between the various dimensions of the
OPMS
A THINGS TO DO
HINDER
HELP ACCOMPLISH

HELP OVERCOME
C STRENGTHS

These models can become as detailed as required,
right down to the level of

• WHICH BARRIER hinders WHICH ACTIVITY?
• WHICH STRENGTH is required to overcome WHICH
  BARRIER?
• All this and more becomes clear as the OPMS is
  developed!

15
Linkages between BARRIERS THINGS TO DO
The barrier marked in the FR HINDERS /
PREVENTS accomplishment of the objective marked
in the ISM (and all objectives above it)!
16

• Such inter-relationships can be established
  rigorously right through the Mission - on a more
  or less real-time basissimply by using the OPMS
  approach!

17

• All thats required is that key people involved
  with the Mission spend about 15-30 minutes each
  day on their individual Missions within the group
  Mission

18
Time Requirements, on average

• Individual level (key people) 15mts to 1/2 hour
  EACH DAY for each Mission taken up
• Group/section requirements - as found convenient
  (but some regular schedule to be maintained)
• Division requirements - as per group
• Organisation - as convenient - say, 1/2-1 Day
  every month or so (after familiarisation)

19
PRELIMINARY STAGE DONE!
20
Stage VIIDeveloping needed subsystems
21
Dimensions below the System Tie Line
22
Stage VIIa Create PLANNING SYSTEM

• Pull down the planning elements into the
  PLANNING SYSTEM Dimension
• Add needed elements
• Develop Planning Group
• Create Planning Budget - Integrate into Total
  Budget

23
Stage VIIb Create INFORMATION SYSTEM

• Pull down the Information System elements into
  the INFORMATION SYSTEM Dimension
• Add needed elements
• Develop Information System (IS) Group
• Create IS Budget - Integrate into Total Budget

24
Stage VIIc Create MARKETING SYSTEM

• Pull down the Marketing System elements into
  the MARKETING SYSTEM Dimension
• Add needed elements
• Develop Marketing System (MS) Group
• Create MS Budget - Integrate into Total Budget

25
Stage VIId Create PRODUCTION SYSTEM

• Pull down the Production System elements into
  the PRODUCTION SYSTEM Dimension
• Add needed elements
• Develop Production System (PS) Group
• Create PS Budget - Integrate into Total Budget

26
Stage VIIe Create MONITORING EVALUATION
SYSTEM

• Decide the THINGS TO DO to be monitored
• Use Monitoring Tool - define WHO? - WHEN? - HOW
  MUCH?
• Develop Monitoring Charts

27
Stage VIIf Create FINANCE CONTROL SYSTEM

• Articulate the Financial Controls on the whole
  OPMS
• Integrate into the Accounting System and
  Accounting Software

28
Stage VIIg PROBLEM SOLVING SYSTEM LEARNING
SYSTEM

• The underlying Problem Solving Learning Systems
  are built into the OPMS - remember that they are
  processes of the mind!
• Check out the documentation within the OPMS ---
  create an OPMS yourself to understand these
  systems thoroughly
• Create models of your own to define any special
  items needed in your system - you can add them to
  the P-S the L-S of your OPMS
