EPISODE SUMMARY

When you first get a taste for working in a company you think you can change the world.

Eventually you realise that the world is just fine and it's you that needs to change - and sometimes this can take a long time. When you have a business and you want it to move quickly, grow and adapt, what things can you do to make sure you're maximising your opportunity?

This week I talk about the past and the future and discuss how your systems could be holding you back or limiting your success. I also discuss the Systems Conversation as a way of making sure that keep agile, keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible rather than just settling or having to make do with continuous bad news.

EPISODE NOTES

This week I was mainly riffing on new ideas so no links to share except the books that have perhaps inspired me:

QUOTES

"Systems are there to help us but they can very quickly make our businesses less agile, less able to compete." [RB]

"So make sure you have a systems conversation regularly." [RB]

"Understand what is constraining you and your business as well as what could help you." [RB]

"Without realising regularly the opportunities that your systems can afford, you're not taking full advantage of your size or scale." [RB]

"Systems are there to help you leverage. So have that conversation, even if it must be with yourself and understand what changes you need to be more effective in your next sales conversation." [RB]
