Process Emerges to Stop the Chaos

Processes

“Time to grow up” becomes the professional management’s mantra

No one loves process, but process feels good compared to the pain of chaos

Process Brings Seductively Strong Near-Term Outcome

• A highly-successful process-driven company

– Minimal thinking required

– Few mistakes made – very efficient

– Very optimized processes for its existing market

– Efficiency has trumped flexibility

Then the Market Shifts…

• Market shifts due to new technology or competitors or

business models

• Company is unable to adapt quickly

– because the employees are extremely good at following the

existing processes, and process adherence is the value system

• Company generally grinds painfully into irrelevance

Seems Like Three Bad Options

1. Stay creative by staying small, but therefore have

less impact

2. Avoid rules as you grow, and suffer chaos

3. Use process as you grow to drive efficient execution of

current model, but cripple creativity, flexibility, and

ability to thrive when your market eventually changes

A Fourth Option

• Avoid Chaos as you grow with Ever More

High Performance People – not with Rules

– Then you can continue to mostly run informally with

self-discipline, and avoid chaos

– The ‘run informally’ part is what enables and attracts

creativity31
