1/2
Operational issues and problems waste a company's executive
time and resources. They render a business less profitable. They
are like Frankenstein's monster. They return back to haunt you if
the root cause is not eliminated. Knee jerk reactions & attempts at
quick fixes make them more formidable. They become part of an
organisations working culture if left unattended
The magnitude and extent of damage
that an operational issue / problem can
cause to a companys growth and
profitability depends on its age, criticality
and prevalence. The extent of damage
increases with the increase in quantum
and variety of OIPs.
The wheel of OIPs is powered by the forces of mis-management,
lacking systems, poor people and poor information infrastructure
(see the table below). Often they work in combination to destroy
the very fibre of an business organisations working culture. To
cleanse the environment of OIPs all of these forces have to be
dealt with firmly and decisively. The table given below captures the
negative elements that propel each force.
Forces that power OIPs
Lack of monitoring & professionalism, tolerating non-performance,
knee jerk reactions
Outmoded & rigid systems, gaps & loopholes, absence of systems
and redundancy
Non-alignment of interests, partisan views, lack of commitment and
sheer incompetence
Poor people
Poor systems
Mis-management
Issues of information inadequacy, reliability, timing and sharingPoor info. infrastr.
