There comes a time in every organization's life-cycle where management processes and procedures must change.   What worked when the organization was "Mom n' Pop" size won't work when the organization has a significant growth period.  More people?  More divisions?  More projects?  More income?  Plains can build a management system that will push information to decision makers, allowing quick course corrections.
