Managing the Field of Variance
Managing the Field of Variance follows the notion that when you change the baseline of a business structure, install a new major system, or through a reorganization or refocus, a new product introduction, or market strategy, or through the adoption of a new set of values, three key factors will influence the successful outcomes. These key factors are value, cost, and gain.
The Ryan Group’s approach to managing these factors is through a process of defining the
