Process


Success Factor

If surveyed Germans would rank internal processes, how the work is done, just after people as the most critical success factor. However, often it seems that people serve processes more than processes serve people. Patterns

Deductive vs. Inductive

Deductive thinking is by inference. The conclusion about particulars follows necessarily from general or universal premises. German processes are arrived at more deductively, based on standards and norms. Patterns

Guaranty vs. Tool

For Germans the product, and the processes which lead to that product, are two sides of the same coin. A work result – a product or service – is only as good as the processes which led to it. Good processes guaranty good results. Patterns

Discipline vs. Deviation

Processes are most effective when they maintain a balance between discipline and deviation. Germans prefer generally formulated processes allowing for interpretation based on the “situation on the ground.” Patterns

Process as Power

If processes govern the inner workings of a company, whoever has the say about those processes determines how the work is done. Germans strive to have the say about processes. Patterns
