PROCESS
MANAGEMENT
High-performing organizations
understand that leadership is about people and management is about
business processes. They lead people and manage processes. Both
people and processes produce results.
The traditional formula of hiring good people, providing financial
incentives and making capital expenditures only gets you so far.
More businesses are recognizing that business processes are
responsible for producing the largest portion of the results
achieved by there organization. Here we put this fact in proper
perspective. Focusing on achieving improved results from your
key business processes becomes a key strategy in improving the
overall performance of your organization.

Process Centered
Leadership
Picture this... at your next senior
management staff meeting, each senior executive reviews the
current performance of the process for which they are responsible.
Measurements are identified, improvement objectives stated and Y-T-D
progress toward those objectives reviewed. Each senior executive is
responsible and accountable for specific processes in their business
area. Select senior executives have cross-functional
responsibilities since business processes often cross organizational
boundaries. Each process is well defined; it has stated objectives,
a beginning, an end and several steps in between. Improvement
objectives are in place. Each process participant understands the
overall objective of the process and their individual role in the
process. Each individual has accountability for the overall process
result.
Process Centered Leadership is a
management methodology that enables leaders to establish
accountabilities for results produced by processes as well as by
individuals. These accountabilities, when properly designed, are
aligned with achieving the organization's mission. The resulting
measurement system allows leaders to easily see the complete
performance picture. |
