Initiative

If we do not answer the basic question of why we want to start doing something in a different way, then friction is inevitable and barriers will rise.

Business management is both science and art; the scientific part of management helps to set the policy, guidelines, structure, and methods to achieve business effectiveness and efficiency. The art of management is to apply unconventional wisdom to rejuvenate creative energy. 

Organizational leaders today have to read business sentiment insightfully; clarify business vision, mission, strategic goals with quality communication; reinforce business principles, policies, and practices to reach the next level of organizational effectiveness and maturity.

Organizations need tools that deal with chaotic information; de-complex existing large-scale problems or emerging business properties: Organizations are overwhelmed with fast growing information; get frustrated with silo mentality or change frictions. Business leaders are eager to set stages and drive an immersive, and relentless digital transformation. They need to provide a plan aligned with strategic goals of the business.

The real value of business alignment is to keep the priorities in balance and that is within the office of executives. It’s important to make seamless alignment of people, structures, process, take a look at balancing the business priorities and initiating conversations that are otherwise difficult to have. Those organizations that have better alignment maturity outperform their competitors and tend to be more responsive to increasing pace of changes and develop long-term business competency.

Organizational management integration has to be done with a “big picture,” which supports the strategic goals of the organization: For running a highly responsive and high-performance business, the transition from a small initiative to demonstrate value to a completely integrated solution is a journey that continues as the organization's information needs continue to evolve with the business transformation. How successful business integration efforts are has to do with business maturity of the organization.

Organizational management needs to present the “big picture,” understand the nature of business hyper-connectivity and interdependence, open up cross-disciplined dialogs and optimize dynamic processes in ways that perhaps were not possible before. Keep consolidating, modernizing, integrating, automating, and optimizing for improving organizational performance and excellence.

Organizational management encourages growth mindset, autonomy, inspires people to think independently and question conventional understanding:
Organizations become more hyper connected with blurred boundaries, ideas can flow smoothly; people cross functionally can work collaboratively to deal with problems holistically. Empowered by effective social platforms and tools, people and teams naturally gravitate towards self-organization, if not interfered with. Self-organization will occur naturally and most of the time without, or in spite of, external direction.

When organizations can self-organize around core principles for problem-solving, the business development cycle could be viewed as resulting in emergent means of self-adjusting, and self-renewing by focusing on solving top prioritized issues. In many situations, the managers need full autonomy to complete the programs. Autonomy enables business management to identify talent, build strengths and spend more time on creative activities to keep energy flow from outer realities attempting to change the steady state of our inner self for generating novel ideas, and leading progressive changes.
 
It is nevertheless true that the change itself has become unpredictable and evolutionary and the functional barriers are starting to weaken. If we do not answer the basic question of why we want to start doing something in a different way, then friction is inevitable and barriers will rise. To improve organizational maturity, the people, process, technology, and capability tuning. etc, are all tactics to get the organization from here to there for dealing with complexity smoothly and leading fast-paced changes successfully.
