The Juran Institute and i-Solutions recently released the Initiative Deployment Manager, a software program that allows users to monitor all business initiatives in real time.With a 360-degree view of business programs, the IDM can launch projects based on methodology templates; share plans and collaborate on deliverables; provide real-time visibility of financial benefits, deployment status and resource allocation for senior management; enable project sponsors to electronically authorize projects and get automatic notification of cost; and define and replicate best practice methodologies and policies for project offices.

At the executive level, the IDM can provide visibility for organizationwide initiatives to enable strategic execution of all business programs. This eliminates redundant programs, reduces cycle time, increases net savings per project and cuts program costs.
