As a business owner, MD or CEO, you want your business to be productive. And that productivity stems from your operational processes being as efficient as possible

But many businesses are let down by their current operational systems, with poor documentation of tasks, outdated software and processes that have grown organically over time without any overriding thought for how they work as a wider system.

To get the most from your business, you need to systemise!

How to systemise your business

The starting point for any process efficiency drive is to carry out a process audit.

Sit down with your management team and work through every operational, logistical and financial process in the business – with the aim of explaining exactly how the company works.

To make this review work effectively for you:

• List the key processes in the business – creating a complete operational overview
• Document each task in every key process – and systematically explain how it works
• Assign roles and responsibilities – so it’s clear who does what, and when
• Collate everything into an operational document – providing a system to work from
• Use tech to enhance your system – by replicating your processes in software
