Organisational Development: Growth in Systems and Processes

In brief, a system may incorporate environment, processes, culture, relationships, behaviours, etc., whether personal or organisational.

Homes and businesses are costly and daily operations deserve attention and detailed consideration of how they are operating and functioning. It is not a new phenomena that we seek to develop and grow these areas for the purposes of expansion, profits, or simply to meet the requirements of our own demand. How we operate can change the amount of waste we produce in both time and resources. By increasing your awareness you can save vast amounts of resources.  Further this and with careful planning and strategic application of what is available, it is possible to deliver more for the use of the same resources.

In todays climate, ‘times of global austerity’, where resources are depleting and the emphasis is on prudence and careful fiscal management a little forethought can improve the effectiveness of our practices which can have far reaching affects. No matter the limit of resources available, this principle and the benefits can be applied – personally and professionally.

Awareness of your supply chain and working in partnership can develop opportunities for growth. Operating systems can become more efficient when goals and objectives are shared and driven collaboratively for mutual benefit.

An expanding business will want to keep growth measures in sync with their business objectives and ensure that future partners are contracted to work in agreement and for mutual benefit.

The consequences of business decisions have mutiple implications and varying degrees of impact. Striving for effective business growth and development will always imply strategic expansion and the efficient use of resources.

These concepts are neither new, however often overlooked for the needs of other areas of our business. Yet when you take the time to consider how addressing these critical applications and practices to your business you will see that the impact and result will be felt throughout your organisation.

Consider how you currently operate, where there is room for improvement, opportunity to reduce resource waste.. plan and manage a change in the working methods and practices which deliver the results you want in the most effective manner.

Lean thinking for professional organisations

A modern day popular management philosophy known as LEAN THINKING offers professional organisations an opportunity to REDUCE WASTE where the focus is on VALUE.

The priniciples of lean thinking is a concentration on every step in any process of production or service provision followed by the elimination of all activity that does not ADD VALUE and offers a SOLUTION to CUSTOMER RESPONSIVE FLOWS.

This is easy to remember, not so easy to implement.

In practice, identify your process and chart for visual aid. Ensure sequences are value driven and your flow is driven by upstream activity.

Continuous improvement is key to remaining lean… revisit and revise your practices and processes.

Enlist the support of your workers and consider changes in the way you work. If you are finding it difficult to apply the concept seek out professional support and an objective practitioner.

Think lean, incorporate lean, stay lean…

Leading organisations who have demonstrated the benefits of lean practices include Toyota, IBM, National Health Service (NHS), Rolls Royce, 3M to name but a few. This is a proven and beneficial management philopsophy, do not dismiss the opportunity to seek out improvements to your processes.
