A cooperative study that identified the best billing practices at media companies

We researched areas such as:

• Systems
  A comparison of hardware and software solutions that support strategic and operational objectives in media organizations. The solutions will identify the best ideas to improve individual performance.
• Organizational Structure
  A review of the structure of operations to obtain the highest levels of performance. The approach will look at relationships between areas and links to other internal processes such as Budgeting, Strategic Planning, Balanced Scorecard, and Business Process Reengineering.
• Internal Controls
  A review of the adequacy and efficiency of internal controls. The study will review removing certain controls or modifying existing ones. This is likely to impact not only the number of controls, but the need to shift control responsibility.
• Reward & Recognition Systems
  A review of each billing department's incentive structures to find methods for more effectively linking measures of managerial performance with incentives.
• Training & Recruiting
  The study will look at effective training and recruiting programs that deliver the maximum pay-off in organizational performance.
