This is a short article, as I already wrote before about my concept, e.g. here.
Today’s release is an online packaging of the business and data analysis of an application that I developed in the 1990s, and used to support my organizational development activities.
Environments? From organization manuals and organizational charts for medium/large entities, to negotiating the roles and activities within startups and joint-ventures for SMEs.
The purpose is: limit ambiguity by ensuring consistency of communication across all the organization about the respective roles of each party involved in any activity.
Things do change- therefore, removing the ambiguity at the beginning is not enough: hence, the “rapid prototyping” approach to organizational design- once, as the customer had an urgent board presentation, using the application I was able to restructure the distribution of roles and activities in a 60+ pages manual over lunchtime, while producing also the cross-reference tables to ensure consistency.
This first release contains the documentation, the analysis, the case study description, and the database definition (including the data for the key table).
The next release will contain sample reports produced using the application- along with the SQL source code.
The challenge it: if you are interested, as it costs nothing, try reading the documentation and using the data logic to create your own application- or your own version of WhoWhat.
If you have any comment, connect to my Facebook business/pro-bono profile, or direct message me @robertolofaro (you will need to follow first).
Meanwhile, have a nice week-end
