Quantum Challenge

Quantum Challenge, a performance driven organizational initiative, was started in 2000.

• Quantum Challenge energizes the effort to grasp and exploit the dynamics of change taking place in the business ecosystem. The initiative aims to bring the enterprise to achieve Indocement Excellence, defined as the organizational capability to constantly assess and respond to perceived changes in the business ecosystem in a manner that improves competitiveness and sustains profitability
• The Quantum Challenge process first seeks to identify business prospects and formulate a plan of action to exploit them. When the plan is in place, the process brings everyone in the Company on board, by means of the Dual Frame network of planning, process, project and function teams, in a common understanding of the changes needed to make Indocement the leading domestic cement producer by the year 2007
• The goal of the process is to have a Company-wide perception of the problems, the challenges and the constraints, that confront the business, and build appreciation and commitment to what its leaders have decided to do about them

All necessary preparations for implementing the total system approach embodied in Organizing for Business Excellence were completed in 2002.

• The initiative has moved beyond awareness to an advanced level of comprehension and competence among all of the Company’s key players
• A set of core values, now embodied in the Indocement Management Philosophy, defines what is expected from individuals and teams in order for the Company to excel in the pursuit of its goals

Planning and control, standard and goal setting are in place to influence the collective mind set and guide behavior in a manner that motivates everyone to heighten their Performance Quotient, a measure of the value that they contribute in bringing the Company closer to Indocement Excellence.
