Innovation is broadly categorized into two segments; one is radical innovation and the other results from continuous improvement of business process. Radical innovation results from the creation of a completely new product or service which achieves customer delight because of its novelty. However radical innovations are difficult to achieve and plan for. Innovations that stem from continuous improvement of processes are easier to sustain and plan for. As processes today have become extremely refined the scope of achieving radical innovations are far lesser than ones resulting from continuous improvement efforts. IT has been a major contributor towards these improvement efforts, it has helped automate and integrate the entire value chain of Organizations and made real time and fact based decision making possible. TQM strongly advocates the use of Information Systems for process improvement and better control.

Communication is pivotal for the success of any Organization, both internal and external communications are equally important. External communication is how an Organization deals with its suppliers and customers, how it develops better information systems to harness vital market information and customer feedback. Internal communication on the other hand is how various functions and departments in the organization pass information to each other. No matter how good external communication is, if the internal communication is not up to the mark it can cost dearly to the firm. All the creative/innovative product/service developments for an Organization are generally done in-house to exercise better control and keep a handle on costs; this further necessitates the importance of good internal communication and coordination. Even in day-to-day operations communication is vital, as any miscommunication can cause massive disruption and heavy losses to the firm, besides effective communication implies theories like Kaizen and TQM can be better applied for continuous improvement. In manufacturing industry, factories are the heart of the Operations and are central to the success of the Organization; effective communication becomes even more important here.

Every industry has a leader, which achieves high market share. People have deep seated respect for it and its best practices and operations procedures become the industry bench mark. How do companies like Toyota, Intel, Coca-Cola, Apple etc. remain on top even in the face of adverse market conditions and limited operational resources? The reason these companies stay on top is because of their ability to reinvent and reposition themselves more effectively and faster than their competition. So is it a miracle or some hidden attribute that allows these companies to achieve their Market Leader status? The answer is No, not at all. Today the markets are way more demanding than they used to be, the attention span of the general consumer has drastically reduced, globalization has made competition much more fierce, the production cycle time and time to market have reduced immensely. What the market leaders have been able to do is not only stay abreast with the market requirements but also aim to remain ahead of the market. How is that possible? You ask. Let’s take a dig at it and understand what is required to be done if your organization has to lead the market. World Leaders have been able to achieve three critical parameters which are Quality, Customer Satisfaction & Low Costs. The tools that have enabled them to achieve these coveted parameters are- Integration of efforts, Concentration on Core competencies and strategic partnerships in other critical areas besides core competencies. To become a market leader you need to be able to concentrate on what you do best, for a company like Toyota that would be making world class cars. So if you are to concentrate on core competencies you need a partner for other critical tasks such as Raw Material supply, Logistics, Customer Service and most importantly Information Management. Information is the most important resource for any Organization and it’s all pervasive. I2DS is helping Organizations worldwide become the leaders in their industry by making sure that they concentrate on their core competencies.
