Complexity management
open-in-new
<p>Complexity management is a business methodology that deals with the analysis and optimization of <a href="/facts/Complexity/KjgY905l">complexity</a> in enterprises. Effective complexity management is based on four pillars: alignment with the overall strategy of the company, transparency over all costs and benefits of complexity, identifying the optimization benefits, related measures and managing the <a href="/facts/Trade-off/xY3nXnJN">trade-offs</a> between parts of the total <a href="/facts/Value_chain/nIfCnfcA">value chain</a> (the totality of all the company's activities), and sustainable infrastructure such as IT tools, incentives and processes. </p><p>Complexity management has recently been enabled by new technology, leading to detailed analysis and simulation of complexity, optimization measures, and their effects down the entire value chain. </p>
