Earlier I focused on the need to identify and address the core problem rather than its symptoms, when embarking on a change programme. The core problem is the single underlying cause of the majority (about 70% or more) of the undesirable effects that prompt us to think about change in the first place. Identifying the problem is the challenging part.How many of us can honestly put up our hands and say that we have never jumped to conclusions...more
Surely, once we have identified the key issue that is getting in the way of our progress, our core problem, finding a solution is simple. All we have to do is invite people to do things differently. What is all the fuss about? Implementing change is easy. I dont expect anyone will object to an action which so clearly will benefit the company, right?Wrong!Unfortunately, change, however insignificant, is usually resisted because people are fearful...more

A process can be broken if some pieces are not working well together. The system then represents the state of all of its processes. The idea of a system is to focus on long term stability. Understanding the system helps not to make short term decisions which may temporarily fix the immediate need but damage the system in the long term. It is easy when trying to resolve problems to focus on cause and effect. What is a management system?A management system also has many processes on multiple levels.
