Having worked in large companies for a little while, I've become more and more involved in the development of a small business. In starting and growing a new business, the application of the core skills and concepts of process architecture that I've applied to large organisations over the years should be applicable to this smaller one. In fact, one of the main challenges and hurdles of implementing a process driven approach might not be there - that of senior management buy-in. It helps to be 50% of the senior management...
So, this blog will be a place to capture thoughts and approaches to implementing a value-driven process architecture in a small business.
This will be drawing specifically on the work of Geary Rummler and Alan Brache in their 1995 book Improving Performance: How to manage the White space in the Organization Chart. I hope to also draw on White Space: Revisited, (re)Discovering Value, and Value-Driven Business Process Management amongst others. These will be added to and noted on the References page.
