Achieving Maturity
Nobody knows your business better than you do. If you hadn’t achieved technical competency your company would be out of the market.
But growing is a different problem: as the number of people within an organization grows, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain the level of efficiency.
If you look at your organization as a system, growth implies additional system complexity, and complexity limits the ability of any system to scale.
To overcome this barrier you need to achieve a level of maturity beyond the technical level.

Understanding process variation through the use of statistical techniques in order to identify and address the critical factors that have the greatest impact in the outcome is the key to reach the best improvement results.

All organizations require technical skills to provide value to their customers. The technical level is the basis for the maturity of any organization, since no organization can survive without being technically competent.
