The CMMI a model of the maturity of the capability of business processes. A maturity model can be described as a structured collection of elements that describe certain aspects of maturity in an organization, and aids in the definition and understanding of an organization's processes. CMMI approach appreciates the use of ”Best practices”.

(*) Systematic, structured way to approach model-based process improvement one maturity/capability level at a time. Achieving each level ensures that an adequate process infrastructure has been laid as a foundation for the next stage. Achieving each maturity level ensures that an adequate improvement foundation has been laid for the next maturity level and allows for lasting, incremental improvement.A capability level 5 process is characterized as an optimizing process. The process is improved based on an understanding of the common causes of variation inherent in the process. The focus of an optimizing process is on continually improving the range of process performance through both incremental and innovative improvements.

Business leaders’ key interest: How could sustainable success be possible in business in practice?
General conclusion from a recognized world-wide study (*):
Revenue growth is the primary driver behind the creation of shareholder value over the long-term. Value-building growth follows a specific pattern with common company-internal factors.

Necessary emphases in modern quality management?
1. Integration: – Implementing effective / efficient and business-
relevant quality principles and methodology embedded within organization’s normal activities of strategic and operational management
2. Responsiveness:– Being able to adjust quickly to suddenly altered
external conditions, and to resume stable operation without undue delay
3. Innovation: – Striving continuously for new organization-
dedicated innovative and unique solutions and encouraging various choices for quality management in different organizations.

Business crises in turbulent business environments: “Authority without responsibility”
3565/2.12.2008/jan
Prof. Richard Sennett: Ever-mutable form of capitalism, “Mp3 Economy”: Drastic changes in corporate culture wrought by downsizing, “re-orging”, and outsourcing Appreciation of reality where one should continuously jump from task to another or at least have capability to continuous change Erosion of certainty and the need to adapt to changing circumstances Changes in work ethic, in our attitudes toward merit and talent, in public and private institutions (“specter of uselessness”). Craftsmanship and getting the job right seen as negatively wasteful and obsessive. Time

Problem
Typically business crises relate today to: Conditions of instability or danger, as in social, economic, or political affairs Unique situations that have reached difficult or dangerous culminating points Times of great disagreement, uncertainty, suspense or suffering
Today all these aspects are very typical and significant features of business environments to be considered by business managers.
Prevailing and traditional quality management means have not a lot
to help organizations in modern business environments.

How to manage complex responsive processes of relating?
Elements for managing complex responsive processes of relating:
1. Identity of the actor(s):• The set of characteristics
by which an item is definitively recognizable
(e.g. a process plan) • The item: Process / Activity
/ Automatic actor / Person1. Relationship of actors:
• Level of agreement• Degree of certainty• Level of win / win
2. Communication between actors:• Open• Restricted • Closed• Fuzzy
3135/21.4.2006/jan (Ref.: Ralph Stacey, Marian Naidoo)
Relation-ship
Communi- cation
If the relating processes are not clearly identified (process plans), the situation falls into pieces of interacting process-internal actors, and even may develop towards chaos or anarchy.(Some of the relating processes may be hostile)

Agility to respond volatile business realities
Agility:
a comprehensive response to the business challenges of profiting from rapidly changing, continually fragmenting, global markets for high-performance customer-configured goods and services
Agility attributes:– dynamic– context-specific– aggressively change-embracing– growth-oriented
Agility versus maturity is a hot question of the modern business management.

Breakthrough transformations as proposed by Dr. Shiba
Managerial actions:- Control (past)- Continual improvement (present)- Breakthrough (future)

Transformation, a success factor for a sustained business success
3560/10.12.2008/jan
In strategic development there is a need for a large-scale breakthrough change in performance of the organization and its products.
Transformation is a radical discontinuous change. Transformation means change of form, shape or appearance. The Greek word metanoia may be more suitable than transformation. It means penitence, repentance, reorientation of one’s way of operate. Basically it needs a spiritual conversion.
Transformations are initiated and managed from the strategic (top management) level of organization.Transformations do not happen spontaneously but by decisive actions.

Technology and innovation
1983/20.1.2003/jan
Technology:- processes by which an organization transforms labor, capital, and information into products (goods and services) to provide value for interested parties (stakeholders)
(This concept of technology extends beyond engineering and manufacturing to encompass a range of marketing, investment, and managerial processes. It also includes quality management))
Innovation:- a change in one of the technologies
(Ref.: Christensen)
24
Sustaining versus disruptive technology
1984/20.12.2000/jan
Sustaining technologies:- technologies fostering improved product performance
(Development of sustaining technology may be discontinuous or radical in character or of an incremental nature.)
Disruptive technologies (discontinuous innovation):- technologies that result in worse product (technical) performance (at least in the near term)
(Generally, disruptive technologies bring to market very different value proposition than had been available previously. Generally, disruptive technologies underperform established products in mainstream markets. But they have other features that a few customers value. Products based on disruptive technologies are typically cheaper, simpler, smaller, and more convenient to use.)
(Ref.: Christensen)

How to solve the “Agility - Maturity Dilemma”?
2950/11.11.2004/jan
Agility versus maturity is a hot question of the management and the quality management of dynamic organizations:
– Agility means dynamic, context-specific, aggressively change-embracing, and growth-oriented issues.
– Maturity means consistently continuously developed established and well-defined systems for management and operations.
The both approaches are needed simultaneously, but the big question is how.
Flexible and agile systematic approach is seen possible even from the quality point of view when understanding the underlying features of business dynamics and using new modern principles for business process management and advanced information technology.

Lao Tsu (*): Tao-Te Ching, Poem #26: “Lightly strong”
Solution to the maturity / agility dilemma:
“Gravity is the root of lightness; stillness is the ruler of movement.Therefore a wise prince, marching the whole day, does not go far from his baggage wagons. Although he may have brilliant prospects to look at, he quietly remains in his proper place, indifferent to them. How should the lord of innumerable chariots carry himself lightly before the kingdom? If he do act lightly, he has lost his root; if he proceed to active movement, he will lose his throne.”

The Law of Requisite Variety (*)
For any organization to be successful, a necessary and sufficient set of disciplines (knowing people) must be in play. Each of these contributes a language that will frame decisions and actions. The organization must also structure relationships between the disciplines. Valid organizational design means putting requisite variety into play. It means establishing relationships among the necessary and sufficient set of disciplines to appropriately frame the conversations, decisions, and actions of the organization.
For appropriate regulation, the variety in the regulator must be greater than the variety in the system being regulated. In other words, a system can desplay something only to the extent that it has sufficient internal variety to represent it.
As a system moves toward equilibrium, it tends to become increasingly efficient and insular, rejecting external input. To increase efficiencies, it seeks to reduce variety. Therefore, attempts to increase variety are likely to be misconstrued as inefficient or even as a failure to execute.
3622/2.2.2009/jan (Ref.: Sun, The little grey book) (*) W.Ross Ashby, 1954

Role of leadership and language in organizations
3621/2.2.2009/jan
An organization is a living organism. It is a set of conversations among people.
Language is the defining environment in which an organization lives. It is how those in the system reach agreement. Language is a medium for organizational growth and change.
Narrowing language increases efficiency. A common shared language helps the organization arrive at decisions more efficiently.Narrowing language increases ignorance. Constrained by a limited vocabulary, the organization becomes unable to adapt to fundamental changes in its environment. Unable to change, the organization eventually declines. Ignorant of our own ignorance, we cannot ask questions outside our ownlanguage experience.
It is possible for an organization to learn and grow only if it creates conditions that help generate new language. Using new language, an organization may create new paths to productivity, and regenerate itself.
The conversations necessaryfor generating new opportunitiescome from outside the system,From the language that has a different history.This is often technically and intellectually demanding and,consequently, often dismissed.
(Ref.: Sun, The little grey book)
