How well do you know about Organization, Management and Culture in the New Economy?

During the presentation of our self-assessment activity about organization, I have observed that answers can be different depending in our company environment. Some of my opinions are contradicting to others but this made me realized my understanding about management. In addition, I became aware about my preferences in managing an organization and got good ideas from my classmates and professor.

*** The New Wealth of Organization

Do you consider yourself as one of the wealth of your organization? My answer is “Yes”. In the new economy, knowledge plays an important role to the success of the organization, and what do we possess is the knowledge. Today, the way we perform our job has a big difference compared to the old times in terms of efforts, resources and processes. Because of the emerging technology, the delivery of products and services became innovative. We do not need to consume too much physical effort to perform our duties. These are the perks of working in the new era of business.

What a wonderful day! The weather outside seems not so good but it cannot stop me in pursuing my objectives to learn. Today, I've started attending classes for my graduate study. Because this is my first day, I got very curious about the classroom settings, way of discussions, my classmates, professors, and of course the learnings.  

While having our discussions in the class, I felt slightly nervous because I’m a shy type person and sometimes hesitates to express ideas. Nevertheless, I want to overcome and improve it, nothing is impossible.

Now, have you heard about organization? I mean the organization where you belong?  Well, these are only questions driving us to know more about where we render services, where we generate our incomes and the biggest contributor of influence that helped us grow as professionals. Specially in today’s modern business concepts, understanding the functional areas of the organization, what it does, ways of management, and to where our group belongs inside are some of the key factors that can help in identifying the needs for success in this emerging world of technology.

In fact, it’s almost been 3 years since I began working in a company and just realized today that there are lots of things I am not familiar yet. Though I can relate some of the topics in our department’s processes but my experiences cannot suffice every detail. That’s why I wish that as I go along on this study journey, I’ll be able to know more about my organization too.

Here are some of my key takeaway notes for the day:

“IT is the main core to deliver services and products successfully”, this is a motivating statement which says that we can be part of the success.

“Less interaction to the system, more accurate the data”, a helpful concept to consider when we start developing systems/applications.

Never say “I think” when it comes to a decision, there should always be a basis. (like for organizations, it can be data presented on dashboards)
