Business Practice Forum: Systemisation - when does it stop?
Systemisation – when does it stop? Hear from some with authority on such matters.
As businesses and organisations mature, processes become an essential element to operational success and establishing and maintaining trust from customers and users. But what processes are essential compared to what processes are nice to have? Is there a difference? Do you need to certify your operation to any particular standard? Why might 3rd party certification be a pre-qualifier to participation in certain industry sectors, or specific projects or customers? Is it just box ticking, or is there really something in it? Does it create value for the business, and if so, how do you convince your people to embrace it?
Come and hear from some with authority on such matters – those that have or continue to provide certification on systems, and those that have elevated their businesses to a level that command global attention and deliver global competitiveness.
