Creating Systems and Processes that Work
I can hardly believe that we are in the month of August and still dealing with the COVID pandemic. I hope that during this period you are staying safe, healthy and working on ways to improve your business so that we can all come back out of this stronger than ever. As you continue to improve your business, consider doing a review of your current systems and processes; sound systems are a silent weapon in business success.
The ROI of your process improvements is a major game changer and here is why:
Cost savings - a simple process improvement can save you up to 3weeks of time resources and $8,000 in a year; and there are many processes within a company.
Scalability and growth - the only way to do it right is by creating systems that run your company and not rely on people because systems can be uniformly multiplied to achieve growth.
Improve customer satisfaction - sound systems help you to consistently deliver on your brand promise and create a predictable and dependable outcome.
Quality - achieve high quality product or service by consistently implementing processes.
So when you start working on your processes, here are six guidelines for a good process:
Each process should have a clear purpose
Effective in achieving the purpose
Have an owner who executes the process
Simple and easy to adopt and implement
Robust for easy adaptability
Document the process
