I – Overview: 

Global corporations and law enforcement agencies use the Cooper Model for strategic planning and actionable performance measurement. The Cooper Model designs client specific programs based on real-time data collection models, and provides training and consultation on the identification, reduction, or elimination of costly business process systems.  In addition, this successful model optimizes performance of existing resources, providing an organization a higher standard of performance, enhanced financial management, and credible and significant outcomes.

 

II – Business Intelligence Decision Support System. 

The Business Intelligence Decision Support System:

• improves employee or community involvement in protection and safety;
• analyzes performance metrics; and
• provides predictive analytics and spatial mapping.

This patent pending model provides:

• success of  programs with hard numbers;
• documented improvement in effectiveness;
• measurable risk and vulnerability reduction;
• effective allocation of resources; and
• identified, documented cost reductions and return on investment (ROI).

The Business Intelligence Decision Support System fully justifies an organization’s  spend by contributing to the bottom line.

 

III – Actionable Performance Measurement: 

What is the Business Intelligence Decision Support System?

• An analytical system, customized to meet unique requirements to better define  priorities and quantify threats and vulnerabilities.
• An integrated intelligence base, applying statistical information about your business to form this unique and successful  management model.
• An identification of mitigation strategies and action planning to support prevention and eliminate vulnerability.
• A tool to capture and verify comparative analysis.
• Application of your previous statistical data, evaluating this data against the business Strategic Plan.

This system employs verification techniques in existing  practices. These components enable you to identify cost reduction, improve effectiveness and provide data necessary for initiating changes in cultural behavior.

 

IV – Lean Six Sigma: 

The Cooper Model identifies and corrects inefficient programs and procedures through the widely used Lean Six Sigma tools and process mapping protocols. Unnecessary components are highlighted for removal or revision, resulting in time and cost improvement.

 

V – Predictive and Comparative Analytics: 

The Cooper Model includes templates to enhance problem identification and provide predictive and comparative analytics using defined metrics.  The metrics are verified for accuracy and tracked over time.  Causes is defined and addressed by using the near real-time data.  The program measures the impact of increased and focused  activity.

 

At regularly scheduled meetings, leadership reviews the data, refines tactics, strategies and processes, focusing on results.  These meetings verify the metrics and potential collection problems.  Results or action proposed to address vulnerabilities are analyzed for impact.

The Cooper Model is very motivating for supervisory personnel because it’s based on active participation of all personnel.  Few people in an organization know the  issues and vulnerabilities better than the line staff.  As they have insight into logical remedial actions at the source, the feedback is valuable and highly motivating.  For example, they may suggest solutions to ongoing problems, which deliver measurable reductions of that particular problem.  These solutions all result in reduction of cost and time employees may better spend on the product or service.  It is a truism that those who are closest to the problem are in the best position to offer solutions.  It is also true that these issues and inefficiencies all come with a cost, and by reducing or eliminating that cost, an organization’s profit margin or budget are stabilized and predictable.

The statistical analysis of pre-defined metrics describing the type, level and impact of, for example, crime, workplace violence, or other ongoing problem within an organization or community will predict future events. Based on historic trends, the model calculates statistical probability of a future event occurring.  This results in easily actionable change.

 

VI – GETTING STARTED:

The Cooper Model begins with an on-site assessment and the development of a strategic plan based on the client’s identified objectives.

 

One of the key points of analysis is the current  information collection including specific metrics based on your  issues. Cooper Model  representatives will conduct an on-site review of current incident data and collection practices, incident reporting and processes used in your organization’s duties.

The product of this assessment and gap analysis is a report that serves as the basis of a  strategic plan, including data collection processes to be used for performance measurement.

 

VII – BUILDING A STRATEGIC PLAN AND ACTIONABLE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS:

The on-site assessment results will:

• assist  management prioritizing;
• focus resources;
• establish performance review tools;
• improve processes; and
• monitor progress.

The Cooper Model and its Business Intelligence Decision Support System:

• collects data from many  information sources;
• monitors progress against established goals;
• provides regular reports; and most importantly
• alerts  management to deviations and statistical probability of  breaches.

Training is provided to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data collection and reporting is captured.  This process empowers the rank and file  personnel as the prime identifiers of routine  issues, and their proposed resolution.  This active involvement engenders enthusiastic participation by personnel and helps ensure the accuracy of data collection, critical to your success.

VIII – OPERATIONS AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT:

The Cooper Model provides the vital tools in  operations, performance optimization and cost reduction.

This is not a static document written by committee and filed away in a cabinet. The Cooper Model:

• guides resource deployment;
• helps continuously improve  processes and focus;  and
• saves on critical budgets and costs.

 

 

SUMMARY:  The Cooper Model program will deliver the critical process and tools for a successful  strategic plan with actionable performance measurements.  The program will help you:

• develop and continuously refine a comprehensive strategic plan;
• focus and optimize resources;
• track performance, including trends and deviations;
• predict events and incidents with statistical probability; and
• reduce time and cost.
