Main Useful Function is the purpose or purposes for which the system was made.

For example the main useful function of scissors is to cut paper, the main useful function of a freezer is to cool food, the main useful function of a broom is to move dirt.

Defining main useful functions for objects can be challenging.

This week I have been thinking about the Main Useful Function of various positions within organizations;

• What is the Main Useful Function of Human Resources, Quality Control, Engineering, Sales, Production, Management?
• If I was sitting with you could you state the purpose or purposes for which the position you have was made?
• How about your business – What is your businesses Main Useful Function? How would your customers know that? Do they know? Do you know?
• What is the main useful function of you in relation to the business?

 

Examining the Main Useful Function will solve problems and break psychological inertia that comes from not knowing. Once people, organizations, leadership can chart and explain the Main Useful Function of what they do, to those they do it too-then insights into innovation and improvement can be made.

 

Please in the comments share – What is your Main Useful Function? In work? In family? In community?

 

thank you.
