The Change Conundrum

Pandora's Box

When it comes to improving the business; new ideas, new opportunities fill Pandora's Box to the brim...

In any business, there are literally thousands of Information/Process Silos. From the information perspective; Silos prevent seamless, cohesive use of information across the business. Today, finding the linkages, relationships and implications within and between Information Silos, thereby enabling informed decision making, is extremely time consuming, prone to error and full of real as well as implied risk. As the number of Silos increases, so do the problems of being able to gather information from multiple, disparate sources. The business cannot effectively access, gather, layer, filter, consolidate and analyze information from multiple sources, in varying formats. Silo proliferation causes the enterprise to be data rich and information poor. Silos also create barriers to timely, effective dissemination of information to external stakeholders. In today’s virtual world, the expectation is that external requests for information will be addressed in a timely, effective manner – when the expectation is not met due to the issues of legacy Information / Process Silos slowing down or necessitating multiple requests to different areas of the enterprise; that is a black mark for the enterprise. From the Process perspective, Silos are built-in impediments that limit what the enterprise can do to quickly improve the business. When one is looking to streamline, consolidate or reengineer the business, Silo induced gaps and disconnects are not immediately apparent. The time, cost and frustration of having to deal with Silo ‘surprises’ quickly renders what looked to be a quick, relatively inexpensive way to improve the business into a Pandora’s Box of costly surprises. Given the vast number of Information/Process Silos that are in operation today and the likelihood of many more being created in the future; addressing these issues requires a different approach - one that adroitly constrains future Information/Process Silo proliferation while enabling the enterprise to deftly cut through current Information/Process Silo barriers to extract and use valuable information.

An Organization is like the Universe... Some parts of the business are expanding while other parts are contracting. Some parts of the business may be colliding while others may be stagnating. Some parts of the business are created in an instant while others grow slowly, over time. Some parts of the business die quickly while others gradually fade away. Striving to address concurrent efforts to improve parts of the business, streamline other parts of the business, grow new businesses and consolidate or divest other parts of the business calls for a unique perspective – one that is able to see the big picture, fit all the pieces together and not be anchored by linear thinking. Far too often, initiatives are approved and resources/funds committed without having any idea whether other initiatives are on the same journey or even coming the other way! As a result, the business enters the realm of James T. Kirk on the other Enterprise (pardon the pun). An imperious command: "Make it so..." and the adventure into dangerous, unexplored places begins…Take a moment to find about more about TLIR’s unique value propositions; then call to find out how TLIR can help you find the best way around the Change Universe - minimizing risk, maximizing return on investment and attaining objectives...

“White space in today’s business environment is not so much that which is unexplored as that which is forgotten or overlooked or ignored or taken for granted. The reason for white spaces in today’s business environment is not hard to pin down; over time a myriad of diverse initiatives created, updated, tweaked, eradicated and rebuilt systems, processes and work flows across the business – with so much change occurring every day; what was changed and how it fits into the big picture gets lost in the rush to build, renew, reinvent. Visualize project delivery teams with differing intentions, differing objectives, differing pressures and each with its own set of tools, resources and cash meandering across the business landscape; imagine initiatives taking off into the great unknown armed with minimal and/or assumptive knowledge of what really lies out there and what really has to happen in order to make change happen as it should. Quite the Conundrum: The need for speed is paramount; yet the absence of clear, concise maps of the landscape slows progress, impedes momentum and hinders attainment of objectives! With a map of the business landscape in hand; initiatives to transform, reinvent or improve the business will be far less likely to take the wrong route, far less likely to venture into unexplored places and far less likely to find out too late that what were assumed to be mere molehills turn out to be insurmountable mountains…!

Here’s an example of an ancient map. Notice the many expanses of white spaces, particularly in the interior region. Notice also the drawings of imaginary creatures in the white spaces! Why fill in white space with assumptive imaginings…?
“Every day, organizations seek to prioritize and address strategic imperatives, operational issues and organizational challenges of varying importance, complexity, scale and scope. The sheer volume, variety and velocity of demands to change the business are a veritable minefield of issues and problems for management! What’s often overlooked is the fact that the sum of change that causes so much angst is actually the source of very significant opportunities to cut costs, save time, improve quality, reduce organization vs. project conflict and enhance reputations! Quite the Double-Edged Sword...! Let me explain...” Tutorial Extract - The Sum of Change ECITM, Paris France John Bolden TLIR Group
