This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide Global Process Optimization PowerPoint presentation, addresses a significant challenge in achieving effective global process optimization, specifically the issue of having an excessive number of processes that yield minimal value. It highlights that organizations often struggle to distinguish between essential processes that drive global value and those that are non-essential yet may provide some benefits if consistently applied. This confusion leads to inefficiencies and a lack of clarity in operational execution.
Several reasons for the proliferation of processes are outlined. One key point is the inability to differentiate between processes critical to customer satisfaction and those that do not contribute meaningfully. Ad hoc processes frequently emerge to manage expanded operations, which can complicate the overall structure. Additionally, attempts to streamline operations by reducing personnel can inadvertently lead to an increase in process complexity rather than simplification.
The slide also notes that new partnerships and outsourcing can create a web of overly focused relationships, resulting in more processes than necessary. Local management often creates unique processes tailored to specific country needs, further complicating global standardization efforts. Mergers and acquisitions can exacerbate this issue, as different entities may adopt varied processes to achieve similar objectives.
The survey results indicate that executives believe their organizations would operate more effectively on a global scale if they could reduce the number of standardized processes. This suggests a strong desire for simplification and clarity in operations. The proposed productive approach encourages local managers to concentrate on value addition rather than being bogged down by an overwhelming number of central processes. This insight is crucial for organizations aiming to streamline operations and enhance overall effectiveness.
