For the Creatives, nothing can suck the excitement out of innovative vision than the monotone voice looking to *create a process* or *automate* an idea that is yet unproven. Better yet, that same voice can be persistently counted on to promote *standards* and *process* often before the idea is even considered. These slides are respectfully provided for the Process Engineers, Standards Officers, and Automation Sherpas that there must be *a* way before we can find a "better" way!

2. #ProcessLaw No.1:
If you spend more time documenting a
process or explaining it than someone does
following it, it stinks!

3. #ProcessLaw No.2:
If someone spends more time filling out your
form (or finding the information that goes in
it) than you do meeting the request in it, it
stinks!

4. #ProcessLaw No.3:
If someone spends more time gathering
your metric than you do reviewing it (or
making a decision with it), it stinks!

5. #ProcessLaw No.4:
If your process does not provide value
(through faster or cheaper resolution of
issues), it stinks!

6. #ProcessLaw No.5:
If your process does not lead to achieving
the goal, it stinks (and everyone who does
not spend more time grumbling about it is
already circumventing it)!
