Harvard University Global System™
Framework Comprising Road Maps, Templates and Policies
to Improve Innovation, Performance and Decision Quality for Leaders and Teams
|
1. Harvard®Management Framework and Road Maps
Harvard® management framework and road maps are genuine performance-improvement instruments.
To accomplish your goals and mission, they offer a practical methodology and proven templates
for preparing business plans, formulating a strategy, undertaking M&A due diligence
and managing projects, risks and personal and team time. Both the laminated and the framed posters
are so attractive, they can fit in a boardroom, a learning center or an office. Four posters
are now available: Risk Management, Principled Negotiation Framework, Practical Time Management
and a master road map titled "The Complete Framework: Vision, Strategy, Policy and Project Management".

2. Harvard® Negotiation-Planning Templates
An integral part of Harvard University Global System™ (HUGS),
these instruments help you promptly prepare for critical negotiations
by stengthening the scope of the negotiation and its linkage to your mission;
understanding the stakes and the stakeholders' interests, perceptions and power dynamics;
crafting innovative options for mutual gains and improving the quality of the deliverables
and the sustainability of the deal. HUGS instruments help reduce the uncertainty
facing negotiators, mediators, arbitrators, project managers, bankers, diplomats
and other professionals, be they tackling big-ticket items or day-to-day negotiation work.
Users report a constructive dialog facilitating thorough deal-making or a graceful exit
(when appropriate), a better compliance and improved communications. Subjected to extensive
field tests, HUGS templates are also potent brainstorming tools to anticipate and manage
frequently-neglected risks.

Harvard® Negotiation-Mandate Definition (Code 45N) is the first in a set
of three practical templates used to plan and conduct principled negotiations. This step-by-step
template helps negotiators define the scope of the negotiation from the perspective of each party.
A clear mandate means a strong mission focus with valid goals and deliverables, adequate resources
and a sound evaluation system with objectively verifiable standards and performance indicators.
To address the pervasive uncertainty in any negotiation, the Template includes a framework to
test goal validity, make explicit the grey areas of uncertainty beyond each negotiating party’s
control, and identify and manage, for each party, both the initial and residual value-chain risks.
Complete one document for each side, including key stakeholders in multipartite negotiations.

Harvard® Responsibility & Accountability Chart is
a governance instrument used to clarify roles
and accountabilities in teams and between parties in a contract
within and across multiple organizations. It helps team
leaders, negotiators, lawyers, auditors and executives
brainstorm and assign clear roles, validate responsibility, accountability and
veto powers in any initiative, project or policy.
In negotiation, contracting, logistics and project management,
Harvard® Responsibility & Accountability Chart
brings to light early warnings of potential delays, helps in the prevention
and adjudication of role conflicts, particularly those related to managing transitions, mergers
and reorganizations. The instrument has been proven to (a) bring rigor to job descriptions,
(b) facilitate job analysis,
and (c) run fair and equitable performance evaluation.
The second page provides
a step-by-step scenario to identify risks specifically related to responsibility and veto.
Thus, users can act early to mitigate risk and prepare a contingency plan to address residual risks.

3. HUGS Project-Planning and Management Tools
These practical instruments help project managers and their clients develop work plans, assign accountability,
structure teams and control progress. They provide a systematic approach to define project focus, scope and strategy,
identify deliverables, set key milestones, assign tasks and clarify everyone's role, manage risk, structure problem
discovery and problem solving, and take control of change, all with an unwavering focus on purpose and mission.
They enhance the productivity and innovation quality and capacity of team leaders and professionals.
HUGS management templates are proven fact-finding tools to rigorously investigate untapped opportunities,
think out of the box, reduce collateral damage, and anticipate surprise events and other sources of project
delays and cost overruns.

Harvard® Project-Scope Definition Template (Code 45A) is the first in a set
of three practical instruments used to plan, implement and control projects, regardless of size and complexity.
It provides the road map to frame the issue, define the value chain, establish a clear mission-driven
mandate with valid objectives and deliverables, adequate resources, verifiable value-creation indicators,
performance benchmarks and a sound evaluation system.
Uncertainty is pervasive in project management. This instrument includes a framework to make explicit
the grey areas of uncertainty related to the value chain: i.e. assumptions and conditions beyond the
manager's and client's control. It is also a critical tool to identify and mitigate risks related to
these conditions (Plan B) and to define and cover residual risks with adequate contingencies (Plan C).
The two instruments in the columns on the right (Harvard® Creativity Template and
Harvard® Responsibility Chart) address the risks related to resistance to change,
responsibility/accountability and stakeholders. Execution risks (scheduling, budgeting, resource management,
earned value) will be the subject of HUGS Project Management software.

4. Time Tracking with Harvard® Mission-Centered Time Log
Gathering, Diagnosis & Intervention on What Matters Most
Lasting control over your time is a wishful
thinking unless it is based on facts. This practical instrument comes
with a complete set of questions to assist you auditing
your work practices, quickly discover and analyze
where your time really goes, take corrective action, review progress
and focus on real priorities, without ignoring unavoidable obligations...
