THE IMPORTANCE OF
PEOPLE AND PROCESSES
The transformation of the
organizational environment is a
long, complex and team process
that is not always well understood
and demands a strong internal
network. As such, it is important that
everyone feels involved and that
they are part of its construction. 7

THE IMPORTANCE OF
PEOPLE AND PROCESSES
In large organizations, where
communication is more difficult,
processes are needed to tear down
barriers. They should not be
burdens for the team but rather
tools for helping them achieve their
fully potential.
Organizations need to find their best
people as well as to define and
integrate the most adequate and
streamline processes to reach a
balance between creativity and
control.

CONCLUSIONS AND
CHALLENGES
 It is mandatory to innovate permanently
in order to find different ways of bringing
value to Clients. But how?
 By involving and committed everyone,
top management included. Why?!
 Because innovation does not simply
appear from a creative organization!
Leadership focused on disruption and
“tailor made” processes are essential too.
That’s it?
 No, innovation methodologies, tools and
initiatives as well as error tolerance are
important too! And that’s it?
 No, of course not and that’s the
ongoing challenge! Daily disruptiveness,
resilience when under pressure to deliver,
give ideas an opportunity, find new
incoming sources, to mention just a few.

has access to more
improved products
but when it creates
them.” (Bastos, 1984)
