[All LEAD Questions]

CDE, Inc. designates a team comprised of finance and procurement professionals to develop and implement a "No PO/No Pay'' policy for the organization. The goal is for the firm to have 100% purchase order (PO) usage. The team spends twelve months re-structuring processes, defining metrics, and conducting employee training sessions on the policy. However, six months after launch, the level of PO adoption shows only a modest increase from 9% to 12%. Which of the following could the team have done to BEST ensure greater success in this initiative?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

ISO 14001 Compliance: ISO 14001 requires organizations to have an Environmental Management System (EMS) with clear, measurable objectives and targets.

Concern with Subjectivity: Targets and goals that are subjective and non-quantifiable do not meet ISO 14001 requirements, as they cannot be objectively measured or audited for compliance.

Importance of Quantifiable Goals: Clear, quantifiable targets allow for proper monitoring, measurement, and continuous improvement, which are core components of ISO 14001.

Reference: The ISO 14001 standard itself and environmental management literature, such as 'ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems: An Easy-to-Use Guide' by Brian J. Gallant, emphasize the need for specific, measurable, and objective targets in an EMS.

I bet the 'No PO/No Pay' policy also applies to the project team's paychecks. Talk about motivation!

Wait, they spent a whole year on this and still only got a 3% increase? Talk about a 'No-Show' policy!

More robust training? Ain't nobody got time for that! This is a classic case of overthinking it.

Twelve months seems like plenty of time to get this right, but I guess the devil's in the details. Maybe they should have scaled the target goal more gradually.

Maybe they should have also offered more robust training before launching the policy.

Hmm, I think including stakeholders from the start would have been the way to go. Buy-in is crucial for a policy change like this.
