Our Business Excellence process involves a
simple analysis of the organization's business dynamics and whether these are
in balance. When business structures that have evolved over time
become no longer sufficient for the tasks of the present - the first stages of
growth decline occur. Organization's at this stage will feel the tension
this causes. Many of the things that are familiar will no longer be working in
a familiar way. Because management will feel they are doing things the way they
are meant to be done, there will be no reason for change. However, everyone knows
something is not right. The organization actually begins working against itself. While
the answer to the problem may be presented in terms of new IT systems, quality
programs, a culture of compliance, increased funding or in cost leadership - the
reality is that success lies in all of these... and none of them. What will
be missing is an understanding of the equilibrium required in the underlying business
dynamics before the organisation can proceed with more growth.
Further unplanned and ad hoc change at this stage, without understanding
these dynamics, can be disastrous. Doing something to fix surface problems can
compound the difficulties. The out of balance system gets thrown further out by
the next change. Organizations that become our Business
Excellence clients will often have tried to fix, or outlast, the problem
first. When realizing they are too close to the problem to see the complete solution,
but are an integral part of that solution - they feel ready to begin. The
integral approach is about an economy of effort in an expanded understanding of
what is actually going on. Often only minor changes are required. By seeing the
system dynamics first - decisions can then be made on the small changes that will
have a significant impact, with great benefit. This itself is a huge insight for
the organisation and vital for its plans for the future. Once any needed
changes are identified and made - the out-of-balance parts of the organisation
come back together to form a new equilibrium providing clarity in a truly sustainable
business model that will support the next stages of growth. Read the Case
