BorderlessMind has defined the following Corporate Frameworks for improving
the overall quality of the organization as well as aligning the whole
organization in the same direction.
Organizational Framework:
For each unit, we have a defined set of responsibilities and skill sets
required which are defined in Skill matrix. These responsibilities and
skills are mapped to different roles existing in all units. The different
roles are defined in Quality Manual which is the apex document.
Operational Framework: All
the Business and Functional Units are aligned to one single mission
at corporate level. To cater to this mission, each unit has it’s
own vision defined which is achieved through objectives, policies, Procedure,
plans and budget.
Business Framework:
At BorderlessMind we have four lines of business called as business units with
People, Process & Technology as their base. The infrastructure and
Quality system exists for all business units.
Culture Framework: At
BorderlessMind, we have a set of core values defined which are Building Teamwork,
Customer Satisfaction, Profitability, leadership, Quality, Empowered
Team. We have a value meter in place to align all BorderlessMindites to the core
values and to measure their understanding of core values.
Training Framework: For
any organization to achieve its goal the three most important factors
required are People, Process and Tools & technology.
At BorderlessMind the most important factor is it’s People i.e. BorderlessMindites.
For BorderlessMindites to be best they need to continuously improve on three
aspects
Soft Skills – to manage
Tools & Technology – to work
Processes – to bring all on the same page
The Training group BorderlessMind University is doing just that

Strategy Framework: The
strategy at corporate and unit level encompasses corporate/Unit’s
goals, financial goals and Quality plans which helps in achieving the
organization’s mission.
The hierarchy of the Quality Management System at BorderlessMind is
as follows:
| Policy |
The Senior Management at
BorderlessMind has defined the Quality Policy in the Quality Manual which
lays emphasis on the institutionalization of unified processes
in order to provide products and services keeping in focus Quality
and Customers need. |
| Processes |
To make the organization
process dependent instead of person dependent we have defined
a set of standard processes. The processes at BorderlessMind are divided
into different categories which are Process Management, Project
Management, Engineering and Support processes. Processes falling
under these categories are defined and are stored at a Common
repository accessible to the whole organization for reference. |
| Templates, checklists & Guidelines |
Implementation of processes
is ensured through the use of templates, checklists and guidelines
which again are part of the Common repository. Tailoring guidelines
offers the required flexibility for execution of the specific
needs of projects. |
Several checkpoints are put in place to ensure that the best practices
being followed are under control. SQA and Audit processes are well institutionalized
to keep track of the ongoing activities and help in finding points of
improvement.
In order to manage everything effectively and quantitatively we have
in place Metrics Council which collects different measurements and metrics
which are analyzed in consultation with the process owners to gain insight
into the project and process status.
We have in place the Knowledge Library which contains information and
good practices from past projects and experience. Knowledge library
is used as a tool for planning and estimating the future projects and
activities accurately
