Managing Business Enablers
Managing business enablers represents a
significant shift of focus, but does not replace managing the business. It
is something that must be done on top of normal duties. "Business enablers
represent a higher-order set of levers than the financial performance of the
business units in the corporate portfolio. While the financial performance
is extremely important, the ability of corporate management to influence
that performance is greatly enhanced through the three enablers of
people,
knowledge and
coherence."
