I was running a program that span across various verticals; we had closely studied the business process and transitioned to India under one Umbrella, this was a big simplification exercise where different functions had to be integrated and a handshake was required to ensure there is a smooth flow.
Not all business transformations and transitions go noise free, there will definitely be some ups and down, few things will run smooth and few may not. What is important is to follow the plan while sailing on the ship. The end goal is not to roll back a process for one sub business when rest is going fine… I’m sure you too would have come across situations like this.
Some times in the top management and senior leadership there is a bureaucracy that prevails in organizations where the leaders are either afraid of change or delay decision making which impact business operations. Many a times when an agreed process exists that is planned and execution occurs you will find someone unhappy with if and starts deviating from the set process instead of working together to enable the same in his/her sub business too... It’s something similar to an example as stated in this story below.
Two men were out on the ocean in a boat.
One of them began drilling in the bottom of the boat, and the other, aghast said "What are you doing? Stop drilling!”
And the first man replied: "It's all right. I'm only drilling on my side."
