| Everyone
is a Manager of Something |
|
The Accounts Payable clerk is no more. Gone are the days of data entry, of
collecting invoices into files, of visually comparing pricing and purchase
orders. Extinct. Now, a new role exists. In the Darwinian world of business, where
evolution is imperative, knowledge
workers make vital decisions on a daily basis. A typical knowledge
worker in the Accounting Department has access to supplier information,
statistics about transaction volumes, and notes about returns or documentation
problems. He or she sees the key
performance indicators (KPIs in Microsoft Dynamics), the statistical analyses
which measure progress.
The most critical function of knowledge workers, then, is to make decisions. They must read and analyze the data presented
to them and act. Everyone is a manager of
something. And why give your Accounting
Department employees access to critical information if they are not in a
position to use it? Conversely, why ask
staff to make decisions without providing the relevant data?
With what responsibilities have you trusted your knowledge workers?
