Some organizations run exceptionally well. They seem to manage every problem that comes their way with confidence. And you wonder, why can’t we be more like that?
You can.
The leaders of these organizations aren’t better than you, they’re not smarter than you and lots of them are worse.
But one thing sets them apart.
They have a management system.
And they use the management system to clarify commitments, identify problems, manage risks and priorities, implement solutions and continually improve in a holistic manner.
At the highest level, a management system is really only comprised of:- a guiding policy (think: north star),
- a framework (clear and agreed to requirements)
- an assessment process (what are the issues and what are we going to do about them?)
- effective governance (everyone has a role to play!)
Sounds easy enough, right?
Few parts doesn’t mean little effort, and effort doesn’t mean difficult. With a little help, it can be adopted simply and quickly.
The rewards are worth it.
With a single north star guiding the company operational goals, your business programs and processes will become increasingly standardized. Imagine, standard ways of doing things. No more duplicated efforts or spending hours trying to find the right form or procedure. Everything has a place in the system, and you know where to find it, with confidence.
Reduced frustration makes happier employees! Happier employees improve performance, and by association, company reputation. And that hasn’t even mentioned the ROI of long-term cost savings and incident reduction.
We genuinely believe every company can succeed with a great management system implementation. And you don’t need to hire expensive consultants, you just need the right system and the tools to get you there.
It’s perfectly fine to start with a system created by others who came before you.
After all, the system itself deserves to be improved, just like anything within your operations.
You can start with looking to others in your industry and see what information you can find about how they operate. Or we can help - from an independent system review, to complete design and implementation support. This doesn’t need to be a heavy-lift. If you’re more of a DIY kind of person, we’ve created a toolkit that includes all the tools and templates you need. We know, because these are all the same tools we use with our clients.
What if instead of your brain running the business, the business had an operational brain of its own?
And what if getting there didn’t have to feel so hard?
