Steve explains how to automate your systems creation. He will expand on the points you need to focus on to achieve this and how you can make systems improvement a habitual and automatic task in your organisation. This will involve a mindset shift on your part and the development of culture within your team of continuous development and improvement.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Identify which systems require your team’s attention. Think about what isn’t working in your business right now. Where are the bottlenecks? What is taking too much of your focus? 
• Change your mindset and also that of your staff. Stagnant systems create workforces that are afraid of change. People are often fearful of disruption and offer resistance. Improvement and development shouldn’t ever stop. It should be an accepted and constant process within your business and value systems. Congratulate all attempts to systemise, even failed ones, to encourage the culture of constant improvement. 
• Apply this method even if you dislike systemisation and technology, and learn to see the value in the process and results. You don’t have to be the one carrying out the implementation. You have to be the one who can see the value in it. If you start early with a small business, you will have these systems in place that will allow you to scale up and run when you do.
• You can expect happier staff invested emotionally and valued in your business, less burnout and pressure, increased profits, and more time for passion projects and favoured tasks if you consistently apply all these principles. 

 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘You can spend hours, days, weeks or whatever just basically putting too much time and effort into the wrong parts of your business. Maybe it’s part of the business you really enjoy. Maybe it’s the parts of the business you do every day, and you think this would be so nice if it were nicely polished and systemised.’

‘It’s about creating your operations manuals and all the other bits that fit together to make it happen without your involvement. Suppose you have stagnant systems in your business, things that aren’t being developed or just sitting there, not actually being looked at. In that case, those stagnant systems can really drag your business back.’

‘We have a monthly task about people identifying tasks they are currently working on for them to say, look, this could be done better.’

‘You need to realise that it doesn’t need to be you that does all this stuff. You’re the person that values it. You value the result you’re going to get from having systems. That’s your role in this.’
