Business Systems
What are Business Systems?
Business Systems allow Business Owners and Managers to
communicate to
Employees what work needs to be completed to
ensure the smooth and
consistent operation of the Business. Business Systems can
be developed for regular scheduled work or for more one off applications.
Business Systems are a
documented record of how work should be completed.
They detail the Tasks necessary to reach a required outcome. The Tasks that make
up a Business System specify steps in the process with
detailed instruction
on exactly what needs to be done, who should be completing the work,
when they should be doing the work and how long it should take to complete the work.
The Problem with Business Systems?
All businesses have Business Systems of some description.
The problem is they
are not documented and maintained and they are often not communicated
to the Employees who are expected to complete the work.
If the Business Systems are not documented the work is not completed in a consistent
way. When employees are not given specific direction on how they should
complete the work in the business they will quite often do it their own way or worse
yet, not do the work at all.
If the work of the Business is not completed consistently
it is difficult to
measure and improve the system. In addition to this Customers are not
given a consistent experience with your business.
When employees leave the business or are not available to work
they take the knowledge of your business and it's systems with them. Your business
becomes highly dependant on specific employees with no plan in place for retaining
the knowledge and transferring it to other employees.
The Benefits of Developing Business
Systems in an Operational Environment
When Business Systems are used effectively
your business becomes reliant on
the systems not the people running the systems. If there is a problem
in the Business it can be fixed by improving the system not getting better or more
experienced people.
In addition you
retain the invaluable knowledge about how your
business runs. If someone leaves or is not available to work, you are quickly able
to assign the work to other employees ensuring that nothing is missed and the work
required for your business to run smoothly is completed on time as expected.
Business Systems are essential in growing businesses. When you
have developed Business Systems for the various parts of your business you can release
and delegate the work to new or existing employees and get on with developing the
next part of your business.
When you decide to sell your business, you have a well documented
living breathing operational copy of your business that you can easily hand over
to the people taking over your business. You will be able to achieve a higher sale
price and your Business will not be reliant on you allowing you to escape.
