BirdTraffic Method History

If you are wondering where the name BirdTraffic comes from, here it the derivation.

I have for years inched along a software-as-a-service offering called BirdTraffic. It was based on a set of four capabilities I believed required to do this. I still believe that today. They now drive Pace Car.

The four capabilities are:

To this day, these capabilities live. The Pace Car Path, which is the lifeblood of the performance improvement approach for its attention to long term, blended goals, comes directly from the Owl capability.

The Variance Advantage from Pace Car, the idea of using variances to construct strategic moves, comes directly from the Hawk capability - the focus on influencing results from accounting. An idea not well understood.

The SAAS software, called Pace Car for Excel, is completely based on the Crow capability. It sits on a database organized to support what became the Pace Car method.

And the Eagle concept for display of results, is a combination report, line chart, comment holder and reference to the cluster belonged to. This too is embedded in Pace Car.
