4. 1.1.EPO
the framework
4 | 22
EPO is a management framework that pushes the performance envelope with
its ability to simultaneously and transparently allocate resource based perfor-
mance targets across multiple processes and performance dimensions. The
primary goal of EPO is to enable rapid execution of strategy.
EPO is used to prescribe uniquely balanced action for hundreds or thousands
of managed units that are currently subject to the laws of averages.
EPO enhances Balanced Scorecard, Economic Profit and strategic portfolio
management methods, including the aging growth-share matrix.
With EPO, migration paths for members of any portfolio of “investments” can
be reset along multiple dimensions with any frequency: re-balancing growth,
market share, profitability, customer experience, customer segments, products
and risk for maximum return on capital.

5. 1.2.EPO
the platform
5 | 22
EPO is also the name of our decision analytics
software platform that makes implementation of
the efficient frontier approach to targeting possible
and business complexity visibly manageable.
(http://www.altabering.com/alta-bering-epo.html)
The EPO platform has been used in retail banking to mine for performance
opportunities, exploit trade area potential, plan account manager/client sales
targets, optimize service workforce balance, distribution channels, rework credit
terms and many others.

8. EPO Impact

8 | 22
Impact on Corporate Returns
With EPO a retail bank would be able to retrieve hidden potential across
its network and distribution channels.
Typical two quarter improvement for branch banking is 10-15% on volume
and 30% on profitability.
This level of improvement is possible because EPO drives target achievement
rates toward 100% of potential throughout the organization by:
• ffectively allocating all enterprise resources for maximum return
E
• inding and fixing performance problems quickly
F
• aking performance-related compensation schemes more effective
M
Impact on Decision Analytics
EPO will save valuable analyst time as it helps:
• apidly model and analyse massive amounts of performance data
R
• nlock the hidden value in large business intelligence investments
U
• onvince corporate agents of the need for improvement through transparent,
C
peer based performance targets
• ompress the “strategy to planning” process from months to days
