Innovation Deficits due to Creativity Deficits?
Few organizations suffer from a critical lack of creativity. Quite a lot, however, have innovation performance deficits, leading to unproductive innovation, innovation with an unfavorable output to input ratio, and innovation failing to sustain the company’s business objectives. It may come as a surprise that this is actually good news. Innovation performance deficits, in contrast to creativity deficits, can be addressed by management.
And by Qemicon.
Outsourcing Paradox
Routine business processes like outsourcing could be expected to run smoothly and close to peak performance but real-life leaves much to be desired. Impressive failure rates, mismatches between client requirements and service provider results and up to 30% malperformance in the quality field result in annual losses in the billion $US range. Already a depressing figure, which gets worse as soon as the subsequent damage to the respective internal business processes is added to the price tag. Frequently outsourcing offers significant room for improvement.
Due to their background, Qemicon consultants are experts in outsourcing.
Effective and Efficient Quality Systems
Quality is important, but quality technocracy is disastrous. How to create the first and avoid the second?
Most important, management involvement is required. Firstly, management guidance when discussing and clarifying why quality is necessary for the organization and what exactly is quality supposed to achieve. Secondly, management decisions are required on the amount of investment in quality and on the level of risk the company is willing to accept.
As soon as these questions are answered by management – but not earlier! –the discussion on how to achieve the desired quality level can be delegated to the operative units.
