What is the biggest question when it comes to your business processes?
Are you flying by the seat of your pants?
What routines or processes are working for you and which ones are not? If you find, for instance, you have a lot on your plate, stop what you are doing. What would it like to be more productive, what routines and processes can you develop to help everyone stay on course? All too often, people find themselves reinventing the wheel.
Get off the re-invention wheel by developing business processes to accomplish goals and objectives. Develop routines and processes that will help you get there. Most studies vary on how many weeks it takes to break a habit. Expect around a month to go by before the fruits of your labor come to the surface. This is especially true with creating routines and setting schedules.
Is it possible for a business to become successful without an official business process? Is it possible with a full-time or a temporary staff? A business can not remain successful without establishing long-term business processes and procedures. It is also important to create training and retention programs that optimize efficiency and reduce turnover to maximize the bottom line.
Is It Time to Develop Business Processes
You are not reinventing the wheel. You simply need to take the existing actions of everyone and add structure and consistency. Take time to update out-of-date business processes, procedures, and training programs. How can they be more efficient and effective? Constantly evolve and adapt your process. Remain agile in the market and keep new employees up-to-date on any changes.
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP YOUR PROCESSES
- What routines and business processes need to be developed?
- Who will develop them?
- How will they be developed?
- When will they be developed?
- Why do they need to be developed?
By using flowcharts, graphs, and bullets, streamline a process. This allows for increased productivity and greater consistency. You also ensure that everyone is on the same page. Even for those of you running a one- person business, you will consistently complete on-going tasks and decrease your personal errors by always following this process. What internal workflow process do you have set-up for your business?
