Using a process... What a concept!

As with many things in life, the mindset of many is related to instant gratification:

  • Wall Street wants results this quarter! No matter what it does to next quarter's results...
  • Software release dates must be this month! No matter how many bugs that creates for next month...
  • Business activity/process stakeholders want results in the short-term! No matter how flawed the process that created those results...

Raj Ramesh has an article on the use of process over ad-hoc methodology in association with business activity/process management.

Remember, an exercise program has to be regular and well defined to be of benefit to the human body. In the same vein, a business activity/process program has to be a regular iterative process to achieve the long-term improvement goals set forth by its stakeholders. Yes, those same stakeholders who want those results sooner as opposed to later. :)
