Patent ID: 8407081

Claim:
A method for improving efficiency in an organization, the organization having a plurality of roles performing a plurality of actions, comprising: obtaining historical data related to an organization objective over a computer network; storing the historical data in a memory in a computer system; analyzing the historical data over a plurality of sampling intervals using the computer system to determine one or more factors that correlate with a successful outcome of the organization objective and one or more factors that correlate with an unsuccessful outcome of the organization objective; determining at least one data element change among the analyzed historical data during each of a plurality of sampling intervals; determining a probability of performance of at least one action based on the determined data element changes using the computer system; inferring the performance of at least one action based on the determined probability of performance; determining a probability that one or more roles was involved in the performance of each inferred action; identifying the at least one role involved in performance of each inferred action based on the determined probability that one or more roles was involved using the computer system; evaluating performance of each identified role performing each identified action based on an outcome of performing the action, using the computer system; determining a projected best action path based on evaluation of the determined factors correlating to successful and unsuccessful outcomes and evaluated performance of each identified role using the computer system; determining for each of the plurality of the roles at least one of a time, motivation, information, skill, and authority change, if required, to improve the role's performance toward achieving the organization objective based on the determined projected best action path using the computer system; generating a unique daily activity plan to provide to each of one or more of the plurality of roles, wherein the unique daily activity plan provides to the corresponding role for which it is generated the at least one of the time, motivation, information, skill, and authority change for the role to perform to move toward reaching the organization objective using the computer system; and distributing the unique daily activity plan to the corresponding role for which the daily activity plan was generated.
