Process Driven Organizations
Process driven organizations are the exact opposite of a people driven organization. It relies on the principles of Corporate Law which states that any organization is a separate entity which has come into existence. Its existence is different from and not dependant on the existence of its promoters. It is an artificial person created by law.
The very idea of thinking about organizations as an abstract creature brings to mind exciting ideas. It is about creating an organization which has perpetual succession (Never ending life) and is not bound by constraints of time, skill and morality of its members.
Any multinational corporation that you see is the embodiment of this process approach. It is because they are not bound by human limitations that they can operate in many continents across the globe simultaneously. These organizations grow in terms of knowledge, scale of operations and efficiency irrespective of the contribution of its members.
It must be understood that the organization is not completely independent of people. Otherwise Unilever would be a mega robot, not a mega corporation! These organizations require contribution from labourers in the form of energy to get work done as well as the basic mental acumen to follow the series of instructions tabled as the best practice. This can be done by every other person therefore the reduction in dependency on specific people.
Here are some of the principles of process driven organization:
