How would you integrate new company procedures to tenured employees whom are exercising a well cultured practices?

Procedures describe what is being done in an organization, who is doing it, and how the results are recorded; procedures are typically cross functional (versus work instructions which typically apply to individuals or individual work groups).  Procedures are necessary if/when an organization wants to clarify responsibilities and authorities and/or consistent practices.  Flow charts, if constructed properly, can also be used to depict the same information contained in a ‘traditional’ procedure format.  Keep in mind that your quality management system is not a set of procedures describing every minute detail of an organization’s operation … rather it is a well defined, but appropriate and user- friendly balance of procedures, flow charts, job descriptions, work instructions and forms, which will assist personnel in their day-to-day work.

The effectiveness of procedures depends on how they are applied to an organization.  In other words, they should be tailored to an organization.  In a small organization with relatively simple processes and activities, procedures should (accordingly) be limited and simple. Larger organizations with more complicated activities should have more detailed procedures, but in all cases the procedures should still be as practical as possible.

      The potential of radical transparency to allow corrections and improvements to decision making is likely to be higher when the decision making method is either a consensus decision making method or a democratic decision making method.

       However, even when the decision making method is authoritarian (unilateral-one sided), radical transparency may still encourage the decision maker to make better decisions
