“End Backwards Horizontal” is a phrase which is used very frequently at PBOPlus. What does it mean?

1. PBOPlus helps companies in designing business processes and avoids working on functional processes.

2. The processes are designed for building synergies among all the business elements (Eg: strategy, planning, objective, target, review, processes, ICT, people) within the company to improve overall customer value quotient (Customer value delivered / Customer value promised).

3. All our design work begins with customer in-sighting (external or internal) and elements that deliver that value. For each value element a scale is created on which the company and the competitors are compared/evaluated. Based on the company’s strategy, a 3 year path for each value element is finalized and thereafter we design processes which will deliver that value-mix. This explains the use of the word “End Backwards”.

4. It is called “Horizontal” because the design process works by integrating a series of processes connected seamlessly through the shortest route (with minimum touch points and minimum turnaround time) thereby minimizing vertical movement of information/decision flow in the organizational hierarchy.

5. The above concept is applicable for the operational world which accounts for more than 99% of a company’s work.
