Managing Processes for Sustainable Growth
This is the model I use to audit and manage the IT Processes
Process types
Solid foundational systems
Review your business to see what aspects are repetitive or monotonous and make it your ultimate goal to automate them as much possible so that your attention remains focused on growth related activities.
- Infrastructure
- Internal management (ERP, finance)
- Development management (incl Agile)
- Client management (CRM)
- Internal asset management
- ...
Focus on scalable solutions
Think as the owner of a business ten times larger than your current reality. Choose solutions that will serve what is AND what may come.
Embrace strategic planning
Develop a series of quarterly and annual priorities, a mission that sets the tone for the next 3-5 years of operation and a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) to keep you reaching for success.
Focus on your core strengths
Build a staff or team of freelancers to do what they do best so you can concentrate on letting your own native genius work its magic.
Patience
A path of slow and steady growth is much more sustainable–and scalable–in the long run.
