If you have a home chef who prefers cooking meals with gut and guesstimates rather than measuring cups and spoons, then you understand why a lack of standardization is a problem. And it doesn’t taste good.
If a weekend-long DIY plumbing adventure leads to discovering that you need a bespoke part from a long-shuttered manufacturer, you also know that standardization is a big deal. Because company is coming tomorrow.
And, perhaps most fittingly, if you know the feeling of importing a data set from one software platform to another, only to keep crashing the system, then you absolutely know that standardization is 100% critical. Because the report is due right now.
If you work in the industry, you’re probably nodding right now. This lack of standardization in areas runs rampant, hampering productivity and efficiency at every turn.
Why is Standardization Missing?
Part of the reason that the square-hole-round-peg phenomenon causes so much frustration is that it often results from an earnest effort to improve or enhance a company: an acquisition, the adoption of a new technology, or some other move made for the betterment of the organization. But unless the reality of the absence of standardization is acknowledged and fixed, the celebration will be short-lived.
We know standardization is the answer to creating more harmonious integrations, but it can be tough to break the cycle. Sometimes, the perceived time or cost required to remedy these inefficiencies can be the reason. Other times, it’s simply competing processes – with champions and cheerleaders on each side – that stymie the effort to streamline operations.
