Abstract

The CM2-PRO nine-course series provides a comprehensive framework for achieving operational excellence through structured configuration and change management across the entire product and process lifecycle. Beginning with the foundational principles of clear, validated requirements and progressing through the development of robust baselines, closed-loop change processes, and lifecycle sustainment strategies, the series equips participants to build and maintain a resilient Digital Thread and Digital Twin. Advanced courses extend the CM2 methodology to enterprise-wide applications, including finance, supply chain, cybersecurity, and program management, while immersive workshops offer hands-on experience in applying CM2 principles to real-world scenarios. Together, these nine courses empower organizations to drive transformation, reduce inefficiencies, and achieve sustainable, world-class performance.:

  • CM2-01 Foundation of Operational Excellence: Introduces the foundational principles of documenting, validating, and managing requirements to improve efficiency and reduce costly corrective actions.
  • CM2-02 Requirements and the CM2 Baseline: Provides a roadmap for building a robust Digital Thread, emphasizing the foundational role of structured requirements and configuration management in reducing lifecycle inefficiencies.
  • CM2-03 Fundamentals of Change Management: Introduces a closed-loop change process that maintains digital twin integrity, improves visibility, and supports faster, more effective decision-making across the product lifecycle.
  • CM2-04 The CM2 Change Process: Focuses on the strategic value of change management, as well as defines roles, workflows, and cultural shifts needed to reduce quality issues and position change as a competitive advantage.
  • CM2-05 The Complexities of Lifecycle Sustainment: Introduces key additions to the CM2 process, essential for managing the Digital Thread and maintaining visibility of the Digital Twin during the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) phase.
  • CM2-06 Enterprise CM2 Implementation: Through a step-by-step simulation, participants assess current practices, identify strengths and weaknesses, develop transition plans, and manage projects to deliver measurable business results.
  • CM2-07 Optimization of Core Business Processes: Expands the CM2 methodology beyond its core foundation to include eleven additional business processes like Supply Chain and Finance, enabling enterprise-wide application of the CM2 Model.
  • CM2-08 Sustainable Organizational Transformation: Focusing on organizational transformation, exploring Program Management, Cybersecurity, Requirements Development, and Supply Chain Management, equipping participants with the skills to apply the CM2 Model for future-ready operations.
  • CM2-09 Application Workshops for Achieving Operational Excellence: Immersive role-based exercises, this course provides hands-on experience with the CM2 process, guiding participants through baseline validation, standards creation, product development, and change management to reinforce practical implementation of CM2 principles.

Objectives
