Business Bottleneck Analysis: Getting Direct Business Benefit from IT - A Case Study
Computerisation can take the path of routine work reduction if it is not
given a direction and meaning by defining the Business Objective and aligning
the IT objectives with the business objectives. The Information Technology
initiative can very well turn out to be a shot in the dark without the
torchlight of the business objective.
Businesses can improve the effectiveness of computerisation by doing what could be called a 'Bottleneck Analysis' for the business - an analysis of where the shoe pinches the most.
It will help companies to design systems which can directly contribute to the business instead of using the resources in activities peripheral to the business.
Just as a small change in strategy can win battles, this small shift in emphasis can make a world of difference to the IT effectiveness in companies. This is illustrated with a Case study in order to help the participants to identify their own business bottlenecks and directly reap business benefits of computerization. Otherwise the computer may well end up as a super efficient clerk.
COMPUTER AWARENESS
FOR TOP PROFESSIONALS
A
SYNOPSIS
Computerisation
is now occupying higher priority in the business activities of a number of
companies. To implement their
computerisation plans, the companies need the right people in every
discipline. As a result, more
and more companies are giving preference to people who have exposure to
computerised systems.
Against
this backdrop, the need for computer awareness for your professional
growth cannot be over-emphasised. You
as an ambitious professional know that knowledge of computers is important
for your personal growth in this competitive, fast modernising industry.
You
need the knowledge to manage your department more efficiently after
utilising the opportunities offered by the new technology. You want it to further you in your own profession and to
reach new heights of efficiency.
While
computerising an activity for a department, the head of that department
and the top management play a key role. This lecture on Computer Awareness
has been designed for senior officers, particularly the department heads
or unit heads and top management. The lecture is intended for such people
who can make a difference because of their important position in the
decision making process.
Objective
The
objective of the lecture is to enable the senior managers to effectively
use the opportunities offered by Computer Technology through Faster,
Smoother and Meaningful computerisation of their activities.
Today
there is a great deal of enthusiasm about computer education. At the same
time there is a confusion about what you should learn about computers.
You are an accomplished professional and an expert in your own
field. I am sure you must have wondered on several occasions, "What do I
as a senior manager need to know about computers ?"
You
feel a strong urge to learn but do not know where to start.
Moreover, do you have the time to learn what they call the bits and
bytes?
There
is good news for you-you don't have to learn all of that complicated
stuff called Programming. And
what you do need to learn can be easy too!
The
lecture aims at making you, as a senior manager, aware of just that which
you need to know about computers and computerisation. It aims at making
you aware of your own critical role in the change process.
Contents
The
lecture covers the Computer Technology briefly, with explanation on how a
computer works and what are its components. It deals with the capabilities
and limitations of the computer and attempts to correct the popular
misconceptions about computers. But to confidently face today's
environment of fast computerisation, it is not enough for you to know only
the technical details, it is more important to know the complexities of
the process of computerisation, the different steps involved, the
pitfalls, and most important of all, HOW TO MANAGE COMPUTERISATION.

BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING AND GOAL ORIENTATION
All of
us want to perform at work. In this article, the author attempts to list
some simple ways to improve personal and group effectiveness.
By being
effective, I mean producing more results with the
same efforts. But before we can talk of achieving results, how many
of us are
clear what is the result we want to accomplish?
Are we clear what
exactly we are up to - what is our goal or objective?
At work,
we get so deeply involved grappling with
one problem after another that we have no time to raise our head
above our shoulders
to see where is our destination and which way
we are heading.
The author seeks to drive home the need to
define the
goals clearly for
every single task and explains
with examples
and illustrations how it helps. Having defined the
objectives, he
discusses how to maximise the outputs of the team working for that
objective?
Moreover, having
defined the objectives, how do
you go about
achieving the goal? How do you ensure that the team does not work at
tangents but
contributes to the common goal? The author attempts to list steps for effectiveness by
identifying strategic issues.
The
author highlights the difference between Objective and Means, Long Term
Goals and Short Term Goals. It also warns how dangerous it is to
concentrate on only Means and Short Term Goals without keeping an eye on
the Objective. The author concludes that Goal Orientation is not only the
key to personal and group effectiveness in every activity, it is also the
key to business effectiveness. The
author explains in a unique and simple way the meaning of Business Process
Re-engineering (BPR) and how Goal Orientation is the basis of BPR.
The article
is important
for one and all.
It is
good for personal
effectiveness as well as team effectiveness.
The article is very illustrative and easy to
comprehend.

WAKE UP TO QUALITY
A
SYNOPSIS
Today
Quality is the key to survival for businesses. Businesses are going global
and the internet and
e-commerce shrinking the world so that the whole world market is made
available to the consumer. Obviously the consumer has greater choice and
would go for the best quality.
So
far India is itself providing a substantial market to the Indian producer.
When the distances shrink, the Indian consumer will have access to the
world market. In such a circumstance, will he buy Indian? Can the Indian
goods provide the same quality as the world market?. Can the Indian
producer then depend on the Indian consumer to provide him the market?
Will the Indian products and business survive against the onslaught of
world class products?
Indian
producers are under severe threat from the world market and unless we
produce quality, we shall be extinct. When it comes to the issue of
quality, we Indians are fast asleep. Indians need to be jolted out of
their slumber.
This
presentation tries to point out that we Indians have been suffering from
severe apathy to quality. It tries to look at the typical Indian mindset
and find the root cause of why we have developed this mindset. It takes a
look at the history of Indian economy, industry and the political
situation, analyses where we went wrong and what needs to be done now to
correct the situation. Indians need to wake up to the real quality issues
if we were to survive. Not only the Indian producers need to produce
quality, Indian consumers need to get into the habit of demanding quality.
The
presentation analyses the Indian psyche and believes that this awareness
will shake him out of his slumber.

article on "God and Religion - A Scientific and Objective Look" which
is an eye opener too. This article again is a result of a 'helicopter
