Regardless what management system you use - or even if you don't really have a system, you need a way to track your long-term goals, short term goals, issues, tasks, and more.

You can certainly use any of the specialty software systems out there, but why not use Teams and Microsoft 365 since you already have it? Additionally, you will become accustomed to using Teams to streamline more than just strategic management across your business.

This is the second installment of our Managing More Strategically series. In this episode, Annie Rynd explains how the "Entrepreneurial Operating System" or EOS, from the book "Traction" by Gino Wickman can help you develop your business vision and methodically keep you on track to greater success and growth in your business.

Are you so busy working in your business that you don't have time to work on it? Do you feel as though you're so busy fighting fires and managing the day-to-day activities that your business strategy is lacking?

Today we kick off a series that is sure to help you begin getting a grip on your business, from laying out a fresh strategy, managing that strategy in a sustainable way, and streamlining your operations.

Are you a small town mayor, parks superintendent, or clerk who spends much too much time and effort tracking shelter house reservations?

This episode tells you how to use Teams - and more specifically, SharePoint Lists - to make your reservation tracking almost effortless without spending big bucks on a reservations system.

Not only will you learn how to use Lists for shelterhouse rentals, but you'll discover many more effective applications for this awesome tool!

Perhaps you have already begun using Teams and you're unimpressed. Perhaps there is only sporadic usage and you still feel as though your information and communication is spread across so many places that you instantly cringe when booting up your computer every morning.

It doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, Annie Rynd tells you the three steps for success and the one step for ensuring world-class collaboration and information processes.

Are your experienced employees retiring or nearing retirement? Are you losing knowledge that is very hard to replace?

Join Annie Rynd as she tells how you can capture seasoned employees' valuable knowledge and make it keyword searchable for new and current employees who take their place.

You have lots of information tracking needs in your business and it seems like every time you turn around you have to shell out more monthly budget for yet another software service.

Of course, such packages usually save you time and effort, which translates into a better bottom line, but...what if there are some of those packages that could be either replaced or supplemented using Teams and Microsoft 365? After all, you're already paying for 365, so why not use it to its full potential.

We've all seen it. You open a folder and then have to scroll past dozens of old versions of past documents just to find the recent file you need right now.

There is some functionality in Teams that will eliminate that problem forever if you choose to use it. It's simple and once you begin using it, your team won't waste so much time scrolling through useless stashes of old document versions.

This is a can't miss episode!

Too many business owners and managers become enamored with the potential of Teams, but then they rush into deployment without a sound strategy or plan.

This episode tells how to effectively deploy Teams in a manner that guarantees success and holistic improvement in your business.

Don't do Teams without listening to this one!

Employees spend 90 minutes every day looking for, and navigating to, information in your shared drives, SharePoint sites, apps, and their own hard drives. Teams gives you a way to aggregate and streamline the information that employees need to do their work.

Not only will leveraging Teams to consolidate your information improve your bottom line, but it will radically improve your employees' job satisfaction because...nobody enjoys chasing information!
