Considering A New Business System
Considering A New Business System
Kevin Linehan | Partner
Tackle your business needs the simple way- answer a few questions and then move forward with consulting and new systems for data flow and automation.
Are we even ready for a new business system?
How will it make us better?
These are just a couple of questions you might be asking yourself as you are considering how to tackle the biggest problems in your business. Oftentimes, we either jump into a solution because we believe it is going to solve our problems or we do not know what else to do, so the first option that appears seems like the right one.
A Simple Strategy For Tackling Business Needs
We recently spoke with a colleague who was considering whether a new business system could help their growing pains. They were unsure, but this is understandable. Before progressing with these decisions they need to understand their current processes, how their people are working within and where their business is heading. We help our clients process through these questions.
We like to first tackle these questions and discoveries before investing time in a system that helps their business. When we use this strategy we have a better understanding of how to simplify a client’s data flow and enable automation.
Answer These Questions When Considering A New Business System
How is our team at adapting to change – eagerly collaborating on new processes or kicking and screaming?
How much time can we allocate to improvement and growth versus firefighting?
How can we we streamline our processes or adapt our new business system to accommodate our current process?
Are there immediate steps we can take that will help us clarify and bridge to what we want the end result to accomplish?
Do we trust that they understand our business?
What makes sense to do first?
By answering questions like these and many others, you will save an enormous amount of guesswork, backtracking, time and money in the implementation process. Get it wrong, and you could easily burn up 6 months and still not be satisfied because you’re too far in to turn around.
