The Skiffle methodology is the implementation of recursive simplification
in a business environment. Recursive simplification, has emerged in the
last 5 years as an important discipline that is not only the subject of an
enormous amount of research, but underpins the thinking of many of today's business
gurus. The techniques of Skiffle are now in widespread use, especially in the
financial services industry, in the public sector, and by many very small
businesses.
A business can seek competitive advantage in three main areas:
- Firstly - It can use the best an most up-to-date technology. So can
its competitors, technology is easily purchased and outdated in a matter of
months.
- Secondly - It can use the most efficient systems of working and
delivery. As above, so can its competitors.
- Thirdly, there is increasing the smartness of the organisation.
Smart organisations can find better ways of using technology and produce
more efficient delivery and production systems. The Skiffle Methodology
facilitates this third way; and is able to do it consistently.
The book Skiffle Methodology will
serve as a valuable reference for the novice as well as for the expert alike. It
is a necessary and timely guide for professionals who whish to practice the art
of Skiffle.
Skiffle Methodology provides a treatment
that is multifaceted:
- It serves as an introduction to the more practical elements of
conventional and primitive derivation
- It is a valuable source of the latest techniques and work examples for the
serious practitioner
- It provides a comparison and contrast to the many arcane and irrational continuous
iterative improvement systems and methodologies
- It provides a theoretical framework to accompany practical discussions
- It contains enough abstraction to be a valuable reference to theoreticians
while containing enough detail to actually allow implementation of the
taxonomy discussed
