"Re-Purposing the Business:
Changeability, Adoptability and Capability."
Establishing or re-establishing a ‘common purpose’ across your enterprise and simplifying and clarifying the goals expected of each employee is crucial in steadying your original course or setting a new direction. You can then ask questions about your changeability, adoptability and capability to make the journey.
All businesses imperceptibly change over time which often results in purpose drift or worse, purpose stagnation. Different teams and areas of expertise merge, all of which have an essential role to play. In addition, well-intentioned, new and diverse methods are introduced ad-hoc, causing further fragmentation and inter-department work-disconnects. Purpose becomes obscured in the day-to-day noise and risks miscommunication, conflicting priorities and discord. Most importantly, a fragmented understanding of purpose inhibits the ability of a business to react quickly to marketplace disruptions.
The danger to change comes when the common purpose is declared at the top, and, in a waterfall fashion cascaded downwards. ‘Waterfall purpose’ is not a ‘common purpose’. Switching from one to the other requires ‘Big-Picture’ collaboration.
One of the biggest reasons for failure in software testing, is the lack of attention to business goals / objectives. Defining clear business goals is essential to succeed. Aligning your organization to the said goals, makes it easier to chart out the quality dimensions required to achieve them.
