Increased organizational efficiency should be one of the main strategic goals of every business. Ways of achieving it differ and one of the many choices is to improve business operations using available tools such as the “20 keys methodology”. This methodology is used to achieve strategic goals through the enhanced speed of learning and innovation. The aim of this paper is to look at the potential of 20 keys methodology for the improvement of company’s organizational efficiency in today’s global market. This integrated set of different tools is intended to increase the company’s efficiency and level of quality with synchronized cost reduction. 20 keys tend to eliminate various “wastes” in production processes to improve buyer’s satisfaction and motivate employees to act towards achieving company’s goals. Eventually, the methodology application should ensure a sustainable development, profitability, and integrated approach to competitiveness and long-term success of the company. The paper examines the implementation of the 20 keys methodology in Croatia and presents one case of a local production company using the methodology aiming to increase the organizational efficiency. Further research proposals are brought to confirm the potential influence of methodology on organizational efficiency.

2 Lean Six Sigma is very effective when implemented as an integrated approach rather than implementing Six Sigma or lean separately. For this reason, the contemporary enterprises are taking steps to evolve as Lean Six Sigma enterprises for waste elimination and quality improvement. It has become essential for all the enterprises to obtain ISO 9001:2008 certification to sustain their growth in the open market. Under this scenario, it is more advantageous to implement Lean Six Sigma through ISO 9001:2008 standard based Quality Management System. With the aid of a recently developed model L6QMS-2008 for transforming enterprise into Lean Six Sigma enterprise through ISO 9001 standard based Quality Management System, this research paper draws comparison between two enterprises that have taken efforts to apply the L6QMS-2008 model.

Project management strategies play an influencing role in accomplishment of project success. A successful project alone can attain total customer satisfaction and withholding the industry in the market. Scope creep is deemed to be one of the several factors which influence the success of the project. Our research has proven that there are various factors which make an impact on scope creep. This paper put forth a case study carried out in leading software industries in order to realize the impact of domain and technology on scope creep. The investigation is carried out on various projects which are developed either in retail or pharmaceuticals domain. Retail projects are developed using Java and J2EE and the pharmaceutical projects are developed in Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence technology. Knowledge of impact of domain and technology upon scope creep certainly ensures one baseline their requirement specifications such that it reduces the scope creep associated overheads. It further accelerates quality of projects and productivity of the company.
