Why Better Process Means Better Foundation and Less Risk

Post by tasmih1234 »

Today is “Everything You Do Is Right Day,” which reminds me of the role process plays in smoothing the way organizations run and how they can have more “up” than “down” days. We’ve previously discussed why process is great (from creating clarity to alignment). However, organizations often overlook process’s greatest benefit of all—supporting organizations’ ability to change.

People associate process with structures and standardization, which dubai mobile numbers list is often seen as the antithesis of flexibility and change. However, I’d like to go out on a limb and propose that a strong process foundation actually supports organizations’ ability to:

respond to risks and opportunities,
engage in digitalization efforts, and
create the infrastructure necessary to grow.
So how does that actually work?

Responding to Risks and Opportunities

Research on organizational agility found that one of the biggest challenges in agility and flexibility was a lack of well-defined and aligned processes. Process management activities and measures help decision makers track progress toward goals and determine where to make changes that make sense for the organization based on needs and capabilities. A process foundation also ensures that organizations can take a modular view and only change the things they need to, without overhauling how works gets accomplished every time. Cross-functional processes also help organizations understand which stakeholders need to be engaged in a particular change and who and what will be impacted by the change (or how changes in one area will affect others). Furthermore, having a structured foundation of how work gets accomplished can free up staff and resources for additional projects.
