ATMA stage: Aim / Track / Model / Articulate


For each PCA, manuals are created with SOPs and protocols, escalations, documentation, reporting, etc. Set of tasks and their repetitive cycle and job completion definitions are all laid out. Transitions and Migrations are marked out. Meaning that Organisation has defined ways of doing things, all are trained in working as per the manual, people are brought in to do those set of tasks, and we don’t expect any magic from anyone. The phrase, do it ‘Some How In Time’ is not appreciated. It creates a very realistic and practical organisation.

EXPLAINING ATMA

 

ATMA sessions are conducted by cross functional teams. These are in bulk and affect every area of working in the organisation. When we detail each of the micro processes and innovate on them it creates terrific clarity into the working of each micro area of day to day jobs. It is about granularity or resolution. And organisation development is about ability to stretch.

 

ATMA is about innovating into your initiatives. The four steps are defined as Aim what you are trying to achieve through the initiative. The initiative would have come from a goal and the goal would have come from the vision. But a micro vision of that particular area is what ATMA deals with. Because granularity is key to resolution and resolution as in an image defines how much an enterprise can stretch or expand without losing quality.

 

Tracking is about identifying all the elements concerned with that Aim. Tracking goes into verifying different methods of reaching the aim whether it be internally generated ideas or copied from the industry. Once a set of ideas to reach the aim is concluded it goes into modeling.

 

Modeling is about finalizing the elements that will change in the process model due to implementation of the idea. Those changes may impact many other unforeseen processes or areas.  We don’t have to learn from mistakes, something that can be learned from paper on the table or a lab.

 

Articulation of the new model before and after implementation becomes vital because the most unexpected of things can break or go wrong when changes are brought in. It affects consistency.  Implementation of new content works well only when it is articulated well to the stakeholders.
