Systems, Systems, Systems!!! Where do I start? It is normal to be overwhelmed with the thought of creating a system.
Systems! Where Do I Start?
“So the first thing you have to do is to determine if events in your business are predictable or unpredictable. If they are predictable you need a system.”
Identify the biggest problem your business is facing currently. Prioritize those areas of frustration.
Write down the process step-by-step as you think it will make the most sense. Think about the flow of the process and how each step effects the next step
Let your workers test the process and identify shortfalls, then review the process.
Document the process and assign a document number/revision date. This is your Operating Manual. File hard copies of each department’s operating manual.
As the business owner you should understand and give final approval if you engaged someone else in developing the system.
Remember: “Through wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established” Old Proverb
