Aiming for Organizational Nirvana

According to the 'CEO Challenge 2007: Top 10 Challenges' annual report from The Conference Board- nest known for producing The Consumer Confidence Index and Leading Economic Indicators- 'excellence of executive', 'sustained and steady top-line growth' and 'consistence execution of strategy by top management' were the top three concerns of CEOs across the globe, across all sizes of business.
Sustained growth and consistent execution of strategy requires that:

• You know what you need to do
• You do it right
• You continue to build on what you did right

In 'Aiming for Organizational Nirvana', Farahat Ali outlines steps to creating a process centric organization. Steps include,

• Step One: Getting to the Essence of your Business Objectives, 'Knowing What You Need to Do'
• Step Two: Piloting, 'Doing Things Right'
• Step Three: BPM Shared Services, 'Building on Things Done Right'

In closing, Ali finds that embarking on creating a process-centric organization is a decision that should be made at a senior executive level, above politics.
