To modernize successfully, “systems” must be codified or thoroughly described before consistent implementation can occur. Without codification, system replication is made difficult or impossible - therefore the system is simply not scalable.
Codification could, for example, be expressed in several ways or at various levels of abstraction. That’s what codification is, a form of abstraction or virtualization or simulation.
Written language, for example, is an abstraction of the spoken word and the alphabet is its codification or abstraction. Written laws, business process definitions, computer programming scripts are all abstract codifications intended to define, describe, govern and regulate system behaviour. Codification is a critical component of the ongoing reformation or modernization process – including the way information is managed.
Some codifications, when put into place, are resilient – meant to last – intended to be impervious to change – strong and powerful. In a world of continuous change, however, where by the time the need for the change has been recognized and an innovative response defined, tested and implemented, problems arise when the response is no longer appropriate to the external environment.
When the time it takes to conceive of and implement an innovation is so long that the circumstances that originally prompted the change no longer exist, then you're too late.
In other words when the time left to sustain change is reduced to is shorter than the time needed to innovate and create, you're shit out'a luck. If your ability to sustain an innovation exceeds the time required to create and implement it, you've created the dynamic of change. Isn't that what it's all about - modernization, change, development.
This is the zero point of entry - the point of contiguous change. We are at this point. The point where, for example, by the time the new product can be developed, it is no longer relevant to the marketplace. Conversely said, the market place responds best to products and services that are most responsive.
Here codification refers to the identification and restating of business rules or processes that exist in an organized and manner. This way, the codification can be more readily interpreted by others.
