The organization supports the value creation of the processes. As the processes flow through the organization, the value streams should be optimally managed like a riverbed. Important factors influencing the organization are the culture, the size of the company and its purpose. The organization of a local SME differs considerably from that of a global corporation.
Successful companies know that the organization has one essential task above all: to support the processes as ideally as possible. Unfortunately, this simple rule is not always followed, which is why the organization often disturbs the harmony of the process.
Order is half the battle

A tidy and well-organized lifestyle helps to make life easier and avoid problems.

So-called “agile” organizations are currently in vogue.
