When you have good people without good processes it is possible to operate for a period because people will find ways around poor processes. However, over time it will become demotivating for staff because people need routine, a structure they can follow every day to ensure consistency and success.

Good processes and poor people will lead to issues. People who are not trained to follow processes correctly will result in variable outcomes leading to demotivation of the workforce.
