For example, <strong>lean methodology<\/strong> is being used in the automotive industry as it aims at reducing waste, enhancing operational excellence, and also allows small incremental changes based on the customer value. Well-known automotive companies like TOYOTA, Ford, etc., use it for their manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the banking industry follows the <strong>PRINCE2<\/strong> methodology to execute projects.

However, soon firms started noticing the gaps or setbacks of this approach. For instance, it often delayed crucial time-sensitive decisions, caused conflicts of interest, lowered employee engagement, and even incurred extra costs in instances of project delays\/cancellations. So, organizations are practicing the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ec2-52-95-249-27.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8000\/blog\/effectively-delegate-responsibilities-across-the-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art of delegation<\/a><\/strong>. It means that experts of different domains or departments hold the veto power in domain-specific matters.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say a company is headquartered in the US and has its subsidiaries in Canada and Mexico. So, providing the decision-making power to the respective regional managers can help fast-track decisions for projects of regional importance. It will also enable the managers to leverage their acumen of the current market and evolving demands to customize products\/services accordingly. This way, they can engage more customers, win more projects, and contribute to overall profitability.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\" class=\"target\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>John C.

Now, the onus is on companies to either adapt and grow or stay behind.
