Do you recognise this? Your plans are on paper, the goals have been set and the agreements have been worked out to perfection. The project can begin! But then you notice that everyone involved is moving in a different direction and decision-making stalls.
The opposite also happens. Everything is running smoothly, there is energy and your colleagues manage to inspire each other to experiment, resulting in great results. In both cases, it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly is causing the stalling or flow.
Curiosity is then the key to exploring this. When does a new plan appear in someone’s eyes? How can someone properly apply the newly created agreements in his or her own work? And how do you prevent colleagues from falling back into old habits? A good structure between people, organisation and associated tools is therefore very important. We also call this a ‘management organisation’.
A process always originates from a question. This is because input is needed to get a process started. In addition, there is always a goal (the output) so that there is something to work towards. Between input and output are all kinds of steps that need to be taken to make the process run smoothly.
For many organisations, being as efficient as possible with time and resources is a goal in itself. Despite the fact that there seems to be a limit to how efficient a process is, there is often still a lot to be gained. For instance, your software can be completely clean and set up to perfection, but the tasks still need to be performed by people.
A well-run process is not just about tight schedules and budgets that employees have to stick to. It is precisely your colleagues’ curiosity and eagerness to learn that should get a process going. After all, these are the emotions that drive them to be able to take the right steps and make decisions.
The strength of a good management organisation is that ‘the system’ remains managed in the longer term as agreed during implementation. In addition, enthusiastic colleagues who know exactly what the system’s capabilities are need to continuously monitor, analyse and improve. Smart software can help automate and streamline these processes.
A management organisation investigates how processes can be automated. Within a management organisation, the functional manager operates as a spider in the web. This is how you bring departments together and streamline the processes within your organisation.
But what does a sound management organisation actually look like in practice? Within a management organisation, you have different roles:
So the goal of a management organisation is to optimise processes. However, you don’t optimise process management in one day. This costs time and money, because process optimisation is also a process. It is smart to involve functional administrators when putting implementation and optimisation on paper. Functional administrators are the point of contact for questions and/or comments during optimisation. There is no success formula for process optimisation, but we will try to make it a little easier for you with some tips:

Despite our belief at Infoland that people are central to process optimisation, software to improve work processes is an important factor in process optimisation. Especially to track the status of process steps. The strength is to make the software match the employees’ desire. Combining people’s curiosity and eagerness to learn with a clear overview in steps. It avoids wasting time because you can respond to deviations and/or bottlenecks in time. This way, you get the best out of your employees and organisation.

That curiosity makes people dare to get off their own island and cooperate more efficiently with colleagues.
