Every day, organizations seek to prioritize and address strategic imperatives, operational issues and organizational challenges of varying importance, complexity, scale and scope…
Every day, business leaders are confounded and frustrated by what were supposed to be easy ways to improve the business failing to meet expectations…
The problem lies in the fact that how each demand is envisioned, planned and executed is governed by Linear, Insular Business Improvement Thinking…
Each need is envisioned as though it were the only demand…
Plans are drafted as though the business will stand still in the meantime…
Each project is executed as though it were the only project!
Such thinking evokes a singular response to each business issue or opportunity...
Enterprise wide clarity and cohesion is absent!
Such thinking is methodology rich and flexibility poor, quick wins outside of process are an anathema...
Innovation is inhibited by dogma; dexterity is stifled by process!
Such thinking spawns a multitude of information silos and process gaps…
Solution centric focus does not enable seamless enterprise wide value!
Such thinking is exclusionary based on process rules and artificial scope boundaries...
Process defines what will be delivered irrespective of real business need!
The good new is, changing how the enterprise thinks about change does not necessarily mean you have to build a new box, you just have to change how the current box is used…!
