Program Management
Help EQQ® provide business success and satisfaction to your organization
Program Manager Oversees Linked Projects
The EQQ® web application can be well worth the time, effort, and money you put into it. But only if people really use it willingly and effectively. Getting EQQ® deployed is only one of a set of small, linked, Projects outlined here. None of them will be full-time and often can be done as timely, occasional tasks by existing staff.
The Program Management Cycle
Publicize EQQ® Internally
- Make it visible to people at various levels who might have problems or opportunities that the business data can help with.
Choose an area to focus on
- At the outset, try to choose an area in which the users or beneficiaries are clearly excited about it.
- And their management actively supports it.
- Straightforward reduction in tedious, error-prone work is easy to measure.
- A query that gets used by several people many times per week is usually more valuable than one that might get run twice a year.
Create queries for this area
- Each new area that embraces EQQ® will likely require one or more views that focus on the business data relevant to that area.
- Then it becomes very easy to create numerous quite different queries based on each view.
- Frequently, one or two users in a specific area turn out to be very skilled at creating or modifying queries and even the underlying views.
- Upskilled from Excel expertise
Train and motivate users
- The training is straightforward, but it needs to be done.
- "Here is how to run this new query" is the mechanical part.
- More important is the context:
- "Here are the reasons we built it."
- "Here is what problem your using it helps solve."
- "Here are the ways it may make your work life a bit better"
Expand queries and users
- When Query Users start asking for new queries and management of this area wants to expand, leading to more users, then your use of EQQ® is clearly providing some important success and satisfaction.
Measure results and evaluate
- How to measure the results depends on the nature of the problem or opportunity that led to the query's creation.
- Success in one area might be best measured by improvements in a KPI.
- In another area, it might be best measured by dramatic reduction in errors delivered in exports to a government agency.
- One measuring device does not fit all.
- The results can then be used to Publicize EQQ® Internally and move on to another area.
