Process Principles
01
Transparency
Are elements of your process only known by a few? Has "tribal knowledge" kept things moving but left you in a precarious situation? Process works best when everyone has access and visibility to the key information.
04
Accountability
Who has the ball and who's responsible for moving it forward? Clarity around roles and responsibilities is key to keeping momentum and providing clarity. An aligned RACI can help dramatically.
02
Collaboration
Collaboration can't be mandated. While process design can improve the likelihood that cooperation between functions will happen, culture plays a huge role in collaborative success. Taking this into consideration and developing around it is key.
05
Prioritization
When process is working well it's not necessarily all "green lights". The best indicator of strong process is when it enables tough decisions to be made. Activities stopped. Projects rejected. Non-value added work halted. Priorities set.
03
Enablement
Does your team have the tools they need to run the playbook? What needs to be true to ensure they can run the business? Figuring out potential barriers and accelerators will help your team reach their goals.
06
Agility
Sometimes process is viewed as a four-letter word - SLOW. In fact, the opposite should be true. A strong process should ensure that you aren't making costly mistakes that will need to be fixed down the road at a higher overall expense to the business.
