About this Presentation
Organizations have no method for integrating the department and areas effectively in it. Usual attempts end up resorting to local optima and yielding limited results. Human organizations are complex systems. And this has good consequences: allowing us to create unprecedented value, but it has a steep cost: the difficulty of understanding the global effects of local actions. Any manager is aware of this and the higher levels (top management and board) struggle daily with the concerted activities of different areas and departments. Usual solutions all involve some type of local view and optimization. And these local-oriented methods fail to integrate effectively, fail to allow management to see the global consequences of their actions and fail to provide a common language to discuss and agree on the best course of action for the organization. Following the developments in Local2Global, Humberto presents the complete solution for taking management to the next level: managing with clarity on the global effects in a simple and practical way. Actions and decisions are comprehensive, allowing top management to really steer the organization and discuss and agree on the strategic direction with the board and relevant stakeholders. To embrace Comprehensive Management, six obstacles must be addressed. Surpassing these builds the foundations for Comprehensive Management: Comprehensive Decisions, Finance, Flow, Capacity, Protection and Value. The solution includes (but is not limited to) decisions, financial modeling, initiative valuation and selection, WIP management, CCR management, Risk management and value generation and delivery. This presentation will explore the mechanics of Comprehensive Management, the obstacles and how to surpass them and how to conduct the implementation in an existing organization.

To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the global effects of local actions within an organization, and the need for a systematic approach that allows top management to understand these consequences.
The speaker introduces the concept of Comprehensive Management, a method that allows top management to understand the full scope and reach of their decisions. This approach involves a disciplined process of focusing on selected initiatives and assessing their potential gains and losses.
The speaker highlights the importance of understanding the roles of different resources within an organization, particularly distinguishing between constraints, capacity constraint resources (CCRs), and non-CCRs. This understanding is crucial for effective management of organizational capacity and for making informed decisions.
