QUESTION

What could go wrong? What do you utterly depend on working?

Group yourselves into five and get everyone together for a brainstorming session where you can go
through a range of hypothetical possibilities or "what ifs" - what if all your records disappeared in a fire?
What if a key staff member left suddenly? What if you were sued for ten million dollars? - and ask how
well you'd function if that happened. And - importantly - what you can do to ensure it doesn't.

ANSWER

All organizations are set of interconnected parts and people which depend on one another. If one is
removed, it will either cause our operation to be less efficient or worse, dysfunctional. So, it is vital to
ensure the prevention of organizational catastrophes such as loss of records, loss of key staffs and legal
issues. After all, prevention is better than cure. Oh! May be I can rephrase it. Prevention should come
first. Because it is just equally important as the readiness in case they happen.

So, how do I ensure that there is no risk of loss of records?

The growing market dynamics raise information needs and so is the importance of the efficient
information management. The evolution of technologies provides us with high-capacity storage media.
So, better utilize it than the traditional bookkeeping which may totally disappear once a fire occurs,
which is unfortunately usual to company buildings here in the Philippines. Although we can afford access
to efficient fire prevention measures, storage media is still the best choice considering that it has
enormous capacity and can process information quickly. We can just afford excellent I.T. within the
organization to ensure file corruption doesn't stand a chance.

How do I ensure that no key staffs will endanger us by leaving suddenly? Other than making sure they
are paid right and in a healthy work environment, a more practical solution is creating a more versatile
workforce. This includes cross-training of my employers so that we can't lose an "only" person who is
able to do a particular job.

What do I do if it happens? If a staff suddenly leaves? There is a long list of solutions that I have in mind
for that. First, to find out what went wrong and mend it. If I can't fix it, exit-interview is a must to get
their feedbacks. Their feedback will help me improve our workplace and might as well retain the leaver.
Second, don't make a knee-jerk counter offer especially when the reason of the leaver is money.
Instead, I can offer a contract for them to work until such time that their replacement is fully trained.
Whatever happens, make sure to part on good terms because they might return sometime later or serve
as excellent sources for re-hire or candidate referrals. Lastly, move past the short-term loss and focus on
potential gains.

If the aforementioned solutions and alternatives are achieved, that means we have a healthy
environment and efficient organization, away from legal issues. Legal issues are in fact evitable. We just
have to always keep everything clean and just. Because there is no injustices that’s never unearthed. If
someone sues us for 10 million dollars, that's basically the doom of the organization.

To sum up, ensuring that organization catastrophes won't happen requires utter prevention and
readiness. Problems may be inevitable but solutions and alternatives are always available.
