Brazilian process orientation evaluates processes by their purposes. A process that serves its purpose well is good; one that obstructs its purpose is problematic, regardless of how correctly followed. Following dysfunctional procedure precisely is not virtue; it is missing the point. Keep purposes in mind when engaging with processes.
The purpose guides adaptation: changes that better serve the purpose are appropriate; changes that undermine it are errors. When processes seem disconnected from their purposes, question them—Brazilian culture is skeptical of empty formalism. Understanding purposes also guides process engagement. A compliance process exists for legal protection; approach it with documentation care.
A relationship process exists for connection; approach it with personal engagement. A production process exists for output; approach it with efficiency focus. Match your engagement to the purpose the process serves.
