The Haffey Management System • Haffey&Co.

The Haffey Management System’s (HPMS) foundation starts with a clear definition of the following elements:

A concise, memorable, and aspirational Vision Statement that guides decisions and actions
A Mission Statement that clearly aligns everyone to what you provide, for whom and why
A set of Shared Values that define and guide the behaviors and culture needed to execute your plan and achiever your Vision
A set of Vital Few strategic, breakthrough priorities

These elements are organized into our proprietary strategy on a page: called the Success Tree™. This highly visible document ensures the company’s strategy is approachable by all employees and relevant stakeholders.

The Breakthrough Process™

What sets HPMS apart from other management systems is the direct link between the Vital Few and our Breakthrough Process, which leverages proven quality principles and practices. Through this process, companies develop robust problem-solving muscles that lead to more efficient and effective outputs. Unlike Lean/Six Sigma and other programs, the Breakthrough Process is simple and intended to be adopted by all, rather than a few experts. Haffey&Co. has supported hundreds of these projects, driving meaningful results for our clients.

Stoplight Reporting

The third element of the HPMS is Team Stoplight Reporting, which former CEO of Ford, Alan Mullaly*, described as “continuous improvement of strategy and execution”. Team Stoplight Reporting is where the system comes together to drive visibility, accountability, teamwork and results. While most companies hold staff meetings, this process is highly focused on execution excellence of the Vital Few.

*Alan is credited with returning Ford Motor Co. to profitability and creating over $50B in shareholder value
