Do we really need these processes?

I  hate to follow these troublesome processes! !

We often hear these statements in the cooler talks. Lets take peep into this.

Who says No..
1. I know what to do
2. Processes are time consuming and delays my delivery
3. It requires documentation, I will better use time for my project
4. Its too complex and I’m confused
5. My boss need this by yesterday

Who say Yes…
1. Process framework provides guidelines for the activities
2. Approval mechanism allows the management stakeholder to aware of this initiative
3. Gives accountability and ownership
4. Provides history and trail for the future
5. Gives greater visibility to the higher management

Most of the organization have processes and some of them give greater emphosis on processes. Are they yield any benefits to the organizations?

Yes, is the answer if they have simple, constantly updated and easy to follow processes and management support to ensure the processes. In my 15 yrs of experience, I saw the benefits of following the processes and i favours to follow the processes for the guaranted success.

Doing my EMBA

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Knowledge is wealth in this digital era and we should pay more attention to update at good intervals. This is one of my favorite hobby and I used to upgrade myself with various enrichment classes, courses and book reading. But all these are in small scale efforts and now its time to go for a major upgrade.

Yeaph.. I decided to pursue EMBA at one of prestigious business school, Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki, Finland. This course contains 18 module spread across 24 months. And hope this will keep me busy for the next two years.

This means, I may have more to share in this blog.
