Concept of the "Next Level Process"


We work with processes all the time. In one way the processes are standardization of work. Some may argue, why standardize when people like variety, hence let the processes evolve. Although I accept the said argument, I accept the argument for the standardization as well. Just look at the nature. Nature’s way is the best way for anyone. Imagine a world that nature does not standardize. If the nature had not use the concept of standardization, whenever a new baby is born, Doctors will have to locate where the mouth is including the other organs. How much of a hazel a mother should go through to feed her baby. However you know how easy it is for a mother to feed a baby and a baby to find mother’s breast. That's the nature’s way of standardization. Simply due to the standardization of the nature, people can predict and build toilets/ commodes, imagine if such standardization were absent.

Given above is only a very simple argument to say that nature’s standardization really works.

Yet there are situations where nature has allowed the randomness to exist as well. Just go in to a jungle, and try to predict what is about to happen in the next few seconds. It is not humanly possible. In a jungle things are very unpredictable. Thus nature keeps everything in balance when it comes to the Standards and Randomness.

Thus I argue that business processes are things where the order or the standardization is required at the optimum level. In the Next Level Process;

1. There will always be order.
2. It will always be possible to measure.
3. Will always follow an improvement approach without creating chaos within the business.
4. Will be complete, that allows to properly cater for Beginning - Mid - End activities.

Above all the Next Level processes will always to capable of improving an organization and its people with a readiness to go to the "Next Level".

Organizations will benefit by people having a high level of clarity in performing their tasks. There will be fewer ambiguities in work. Even when new staff joins, they will be productive within a short period of time.

If the management wants to create a second instance of the same business, it can be achieved faster, if all the processes are properly designed and optimized.
