We have visions of increased bureaucracy and paperwork. We may also fear the more focused accountability imposed by formal systems. Here, everyone knows that the procedures are not accurate and any new edict to comply with them is unlikely to improve anything. Such edicts do not inspire the people to use the system.

Leaders show their commitment by involving themselves in developing, using and improving the system.
Such processes are, not surprisingly, ignored in some audit standards originated for contracts such as ISO 9001. Management reviews could correct this.

If you earn your livelihood in these departments you may also have concerns and fears. Great benefits and value come from deploying responsibility for defining and meeting all needs with integrated enterprise systems.
