Algorithms Have No Soul
“Great work! Write an SOP for the same so that it can distributed”, My manager said after I finished my job nicely.
I didn’t even know what SOP meant at that time. Turns out, it is just the step-by-step instructions to perform any action, which can be distributed to workers to carry out the same operation. The aim is to achieve efficiency, quality output, and uniformity of performance.
This helps reduce dependencies as well. If you are a founder and work without any SOP, you will soon realize everything depends on you. The moment you exclude yourself from the process, everything collapses.
SOPs are essentials. They are what algorithms to machines. Simple instructions! But machines and humans are different, and thus SOPs.
