Your Challenge - Focus on Being Productive Instead of Busy.
The 10 Most Dangerous Words in the English Language for Business Productivity - "Because this is the way I/we have always done it!" The outdated, inefficient methods of conducting business - comfortable and familiar as they are - hamper your business:
- Using handwritten sales/work orders, invoices, receipts, statements and other transactional documents.
- Business documents that are maintained in either (a) paper format in file cabinets or (b) on a hard drive on a computer.
- Business processes that require employees to write, search, retrieve, or work with misfiled records or that aren't easily searchable for content or location.
- Business information that is kept in Spreadsheets instead of Databases.
- Communications (like email) that result in playing "tag" - both with employees and customers.
Our Solution - Focus on Systems that Enhance Fundamentals, Processes, & Projects
Fundamentals: The everyday things you use like Email accounts, logos, tag lines, communication channels, etc.
Processes: How you get the work done that runs your business. Goals are optional and, if used, are best defined by certain metrics or Key Performance Indicators.
Projects: Those business undertakings that are designed to accomplish one or more specific goals in a defined period and with a budgeted cost.
Systems: The tools, people, and other assets you use to help you complete projects or run processes.
Here's How We Do It
- You help us understand your business and your unique situation to better understand exactly how your business operates.
- We ask if you have and can describe a consistent Process for everything you're doing. And, we'll take a look what you currently use for the Fundamentals.
- We ask what Projects you're currently undertaking and what you hope to achieve with them.
- We jointly identify and agree on those "pain points" that are stealing your energy & productivity.
- We evaluate and describe which
Systems are most likely to improve your
Projects and
Processes - especially in a "bang for your buck"
scenario.
