German process orientation recognizes that actual processes are domain-specific. The correct process for manufacturing differs from medical diagnosis, legal adjudication, or financial analysis. There’s no universal process that works everywhere.
This drives deep specialization—the Meister masters a particular trade, the Facharzt specializes in a medical field, the Fachanwalt focuses on a legal domain. Process authority flows to those with demonstrated domain expertise.
When working in German contexts, expect your domain competence to matter. General business skills may be less valued than deep expertise in relevant processes. Acknowledge the limits of your expertise rather than claiming broad capabilities. Turn to qualified specialists for processes outside your domain. Within your domain, demonstrate the deep competence that commands respect.
