																						Yield tremendous cost savings from budget overruns (an 
																							estimate of 8-10% is projected at its most conservative) | 
																					 
																					
																						| » | 
																						Cost and reputation savings through improved quality 
																							of initiatives as focus is explicitly placed on best practices processes 
																									compliance and early intervention of critical-to-quality (CTQ) issues
																							(savings from early rework and defect prevention: experts have put 
																							quality-related costs as x8 times the implementation costs)
																						 | 
																					 
																					
																						| » | 
																						Provide framework to make things happen in an 
																							organization with early warning and escalation process (80% of management time
