Executive Summary

Process standardization initiatives are no small undertaking, often spanning large and heterogeneous organizational units. But full process standardization is rarely a possibility — and even when it's possible, it's often not advisable. The challenge? Finding a way to accommodate different types of processes for different types of projects and to enable process innovation — all without creating unnecessary cost and complexity. Process rationalization, a rightweight approach to process standardization, is above all a balancing act.
