  All systems require at least one process.

• July 25, 2021Do Systems produce Assets or Outcomes?

  Systems do things. They run, and work gets done.
  

  Sometimes the things that get done produce a physical outcome - these could be called “assets”.
  

  Sometimes the things that get done mean things are moved around - these  could be called “outcomes”.
  

  In the context of systems, we need a word to encompass both an asset and an outcome. That word is RESULTS.

• July 24, 2021Changing just one part of a system? Learn what else you must be thinking about when you do this!

  First, make sure your system gives you the results you want from it.
  

  Improving that system can be done… But, you must consider the consequences on the whole system of changing any part of that system.
  

  Making changes to a system just looking at one part risks making the whole system fail :(

• July 24, 2021How to Know if Someone Really Knows Systems.

  How businesses do one thing is how they do all things.
  

  Consistency implies their systems are working. You can see this in their front-facing marketing. Look at their Facebook page. Their Instagram page. Their Youtube page. It will be evident if they know systems.
  

  Systems are frameworks. If they know systems, they will have a clae framework for thinking in systems, running systems, and creating new systems.

• July 23, 2021What is the Folder of Despair?

  There is a place where you have invested time, money and energy into training and courses trying to get a result.
  

  The marketers are very skilled and got you and me to buy.
  

  But their lack of systems meant that MOST people buying MOST courses get LIMITED RESULTS.
  

  Does this mean the courses are bad or wrong? No. It means that your ability to transform the course you bought and turn it into a system is limited.

• July 22, 2021What to do if your business is hopelessly dependent on… you.

  Business owners commonly become the bottleneck for their entire business. They are the ones telling everyone what to do, how to do it, troubleshooting and wondering why no one seems to have any idea initiative.
  

  In this chaotic environment it is extremely difficult to see that the problem is not more people, or better people or even better management of people. Rather the possibility of a well run organisation lives in a transition away from spoken instructions to documented one.
  

  You can make this transition yourself. But if you want to do it quicker, faster and skip a lot of systemisation problems, then your next step is to go to systemio.dev.

• July 21, 2021Track your Progress!

  If you track your SOPs, then you will have optics on what is getting done.
  

  This massively increases productivity because you know what you were up to. You can come back and see what process you were doing.
  

  Work using the instructions significantly increases productivity.
