Contrasting analysis between process methodology in any organisation/Function

1. “It’s not that simple” methodology: “Simplify” methodology
Characteristics:
 Processes extremely difficult to explain; No process
map available or mapping extremely difficult to
explain/understand
 It always takes either many hours or days to obtain
any information one expected should be readily

 More than one person/department needs to be
involved to produce anything one needs; not because
of controls, but for example because no one had
thought of gathering everything in one place.
 Nobody asks the Question – “How are others
addressing this particular challenge we are facing?”
 Problems drags on for years without solutions.
Characteristics:
 All hurdles are constantly being removed
 The bar is constantly raised higher
 Customer’s needs are anticipated
 The organisation/function evolves to a self-
service model
 End users can get what they want at request/ or
routinely and better still, they could be presented
with what they did not know they need.
Impact:
 Huge financial losses as the company is usually not

 Becoming a market leader, a trend setter.
