Abstract

"This thesis presents a structured framework based on the use of a handbook-based approach from several existing bodies of knowledge. The framework can be used to help guide an individual or organization through the process of critically managing assets, services and systems. The primary goal of the framework is the management of continuous improvement and sustained innovation of an organization by emphasizing change management, career development and knowledge sharing throughout the organization. An emphasis is also placed on lean product development utilizing adaptive innovative methodologies to help resolve inefficiencies within a company or process. The purpose is to establish a common language, method and tool set used by managers, executives and service-oriented professionals that can serve as a framework for managing and leading an organization’s people, processes and products or what can be referred to as “Managing the Whole”"--Abstract, page iv.
