Different types of friction are expected at the different levels of the organization, and all need to be addressed holistically to improve organizational agility and maturity.
Organizational management orchestrated via information technology and cross-functional processes & structures, allows staff to get out of their comfort zone, lubricate business relationships, clarify process logic, and build a high-performance business to accelerate performance and reach the next level of organizational maturity.
Lubricate multi-layer business value chains to accelerate organizational performance: Dysfunction, silo, frictions are often caused by overly rigid rules or organizational structures or ineffective processes or practices. To improve agility, organizations today cannot be organized using the outdated paradigm that resulted in divisions or bureaucracies. They have to unshackle the old organizational hierarchical chain, lubricate business relationships, harness communication and enforce cross-boundary collaboration.
In many traditional organizations, there is a poor fit between the new business and the old system. Business management should understand that the free flow of ideas and their prompt implementation is a key element of business success in the long term. Forward-thinking organizations today need to constantly adapt to the ever-changing environment, lubricate their multilateral business value chains accordingly, lead radical changes, in order to improve business effectiveness and accelerate performance.
In order to lubricate friction, you need to understand people psychologically, and anthropologically: Many say change is not the problem, the problem is the friction to change, as well as lack of in-depth understanding and methodology to deal with them smoothly. People should know "where you are driving them to" and "what's in it for them." High performance organizations empower influential leaders as lubricants to handle conflicts, negative mentality, lubricate frictions and empower change agents for creating fresh energy. An increasing business management focus needs to be on soft capital management to generate differentiated business advantage.
The successful individuals or businesses are the ones that have learned why to change; when change is called for, how to decide what to change, and who will get involved. The effective management enables the business to make a seamless transition from silo setting, overly rigid hierarchical management to holistic management discipline; from command and control to autonomy; from managing products/services to managing customer-centric solutions; from training for fixed roles to learning to fit the purpose.
Lubricate processes, flatten business hierarchies, and keep the information, ideas, and business flow smoothly: Business frictions seem to be inevitable, as there’s a pendulum swinging between process & flexibility, engagement and efficiency; innovation and standardization, etc. The degree of business process coherence decides how flexibly the organization can adapt to business dynamics and how innovatively it can drive progressive changes. Business management needs to lubricate inflexible processes, enhance logic, plus consistency leading to business coherence.
Many processes are linear and structured and social is chaotic and non-linear. There are some processes that lend themselves to a more collaborative approach in the creative aspects of businesses, allowing people across the business ecosystem to share knowledge for solving problems and overcoming common challenges. Also, there are many touch points in processes that will take them into the collaboration world. The collaboration platforms enabled by emerging technologies, efficient apps, and tools, help to lubricate processes, flatten organizational hierarchies, keep information and ideas flow smoothly, And the robustness of the process means there's risk management embedded into the process, to improve organizational effectiveness and resilience.
The business world moves too fast with blurred territories and intriguing ecosystem conditions, marketing, finance, technology, leadership are all intertwined. Different types of friction are expected at the different levels of the organization, and all need to be addressed holistically to improve organizational agility and maturity.
