People Introduction


DNA "Operational Actions" (or Level-3 Actions) are the actions that drive all aspects of the business. These operational actions are the "heart" of the AMS as a management system. The "characteristics" assigned to every Level-3 Operational Action are unique to each business and are built over time to improve all aspects of operational efficiency. Action Characteristics include such things as accountability, risk, measurement, targets, improvement audits, ideas & recommendations, improvement projects and incident resolution. These "action characteristics" form the essence of every operational action within the Business DNA and focus all employees on "doing the things that add true value" to the business.
The Check Actions menu item opens a sequential "search list" of all 125 "Operational Actions" that can then be searched by key-word or sorted by displayed components to drill-down to the required operational action.

The TABs across the top of the Level-3 Action form each open a sub-form to access the data that constitutes each action "characteristic".
The Action TAB defines the basic characteristics of the operational action including the staff that are accountable, what is the measure of performance, what is the business target for performance, the overall risk assessment, and the current performance assessment.
The Knowledgebase TAB gives access to create and find company knowledge relating to the operational action. Procedures, templates, forms, reports, training material, etc, can be uploaded, downloaded or viewed so that all information that contributes to the performance of that action is easily accessible from this Knowledge Source. Search functions are provided to rapidly find knowledge.
The Risk TAB allows in-depth risk analysis of the operational action. Multiple risks can be identified and assessed for severity in the context of the action.
The Audit TAB is where an improvement audit is optionally performed and where recommendations are formulated to improve operational performance.
The Ideas TAB is where any staff member can made a suggestion for the improvement of any operational action.
The Projects TAB is where a detailed improvement project (associated with an operational action) can be created and tracked. An improvement project is normally created from an improvement audit and includes the coordination of multiple resources and tasks.
The Incidents TAB is where "ad hoc" events associated with an operational action can be documented and assigned to a staff member for resolution.
The Control TAB shows the last changes mad to any characteristic of an action. This is a simple change audit trail noting what was changed and who made the last change. Extensive "change tracking" is held within the Modification Log of the Internet-AMS (accessible only by the Client Administrator) that tracks all addition, changes, or deletions made by any user to any data in the AMS.
