A speaker compares building business systems to getting in shape, arguing both require ongoing effort and foundational steps. He introduces Process Driven Foundations, a program for continuous improvement in organizational processes.
It is nice and hopeful of us to think that building business systems is like a switch. Because we want to believe that if we just do this one thing, we'll be systemized. But unfortunately, business systems are a lot like physical health and fitness. So like going to the gym, you go to the gym, you're going to get in shape, right? You're just doing the work, you're showing up, going to the gym, blah, blah, blah, you stop going to the gym, entropy. You kind of, you know, you get a little bit tired, you don't feel like doing those pull ups anymore, or you can't do those pull ups anymore, you can't run as far as you used to. Business systems are the same way. It's fitness, but for our organization. So these first four steps are kind of like building the foundation of your business. It's why our program that teaches you how to do this is called Process Driven Foundations. But once you have that foundation, we're ready for improvement. And this improvement step never ends. It's just the ongoing process of making our who, what, when and how better. So for our how to section, there are three specific things you could do. And I've got a good, a better, and a best. Okay?
