Dear Ukmitra and TS,
Thanks a ton for your response. I will start with the big caution that Ukmitra mentioned, The first question I asked the Leadership here when they asked me to do this was "Why do you want me to be the bad guy ?". There are a few senior members here and I am kind of bracing myself to face the retaliation. What I plan to do is bring about the change through them and make them responsible for it. I know its going to be a near impossible task, But I trust my abilities. Once I have the senior members bringing about the change, all I gotta do is to pull the right strings. (Please share your thoughts if this approach sounds good to you)
To answer Ukmitra's suggestion on SOPs. Here's how it is, There are No SOPs, P&Ps, Hand Book or Standing Orders (How cool is that !!). What they have instead is a chain of emails called "Circulars" that have been going around since the Victorian Era. They are basically one or two liners telling people what to do. That is all I have to begin with ...
Now TS, The big question, Why am I doing this ? What's in it for me ? Well friends, I haven't been able to answer that question to my satisfaction yet. However, Every time I try to convince myself to shun it, something withing tells me to go ahead and do it (The feeling from within gets stronger every time). My best guess is, I like the idea of being able to build the nervous system of an organization, it will prepare me for my personal future goals. I know, I may not be appreciated for doing this, but yet, here I am giving it go.....
In times to come, I will hit back to the forum with more questions and I look forward to your continued support.
Thanks,
K.
