Westinghouse Electric Company is part of an extremely
quality-focused parent organization, the Japanese firm Toshiba.
Westinghouse recently decided they needed a better way to consolidate,
view, and manage their operational performance, in addition to their
financial performance. After an extensive vendor search, Westinghouse
selected ActiveStrategy Enterprise (ASE) as their new performance management
solution.
Before ASE, measures at Westinghouse were
collected and disseminated through emails and spreadsheets sourced from
various disconnected systems, so they needed a solution that would
consolidate data and enable them to more effectively manage performance
information. They also needed a system that would support their
aggressive growth plans and profitability improvements in a way that
would help them explain performance to their executives and, mostly
importantly, to their parent company.
Joanna Sutton, Manager, Strategic Development at Westinghouse, talks about:
- The previous state of "chaos" in reporting KPIs each month
- Why they chose ActiveStrategy
- What the transition has been like to date
- Benefits they've seen so far – including better alignment, visibility, and ability to drive actions
- What's next in the deployment
