Are you taking advantage of technology to streamline and automate your business?

Identifying your manual processes and automating them feels like an impossible task. Choosing

the best software apps by focusing on their key features is somewhat daunting. Reviewing and

streamlining your teams accountabilities takes time and effort.

To move your business forward you know they all need to be done. The benefits will be great.

Finding the best place to commence is challenging.

Technology has provided us with endless opportunities. At times it feels like a little too many.

Finding time to review manual processes and work on automating seems impossible as you deal

with among the daily challenges of managing a business. Then you need to identify the best apps

to seamlessly automate the process. Finally as you automate and implemented new technology

your teams accountabilities must be reviewed.

A lot of effort is required. You need to know you are focusing on the items that will provide the best

return once you streamline. It all feels a bit too overwhelming at times.

To maximise the growth of your business means finding all the key areas to streamline. Yes it

includes your manual processes, however you should not stop there. Manual processes are the

easiest to identify. Strategically reviewing our whole business may not. It must be tackled if you are

to delver your growth plans.

Here are three key ares of your business that could be streamlined:

Manual Processes - the easiest to identify. But not always so easy to streamline. A manual

process will consume time and team resources. Being manual it relies heavily on the team getting

it right every time. Not an easy task when time is short and expectations are high. Bottlenecks

occur and stress levels rise. Often the process is poorly documented so team and client are unsure

of their responsibilities. Getting manual processes automated by utilising key features within your

apps provides great opportunities for your business.

Apps - technology has provided us with many and varied apps. There appears to be an app to

solve every issue. Each app has many features. The key questions is do I need them all?

Choosing the right one, identifying the key features is a challenge. Then you must test, implement

and train your team and clients. Streamlining your apps means focusing on a few that will deliver.

Its about reviewing each app regularly to ensure it is still delivering on your key needs. Its also

about knowing which features are the ones best suited to your business. Streamlining apps and

removing those out of date will lead to greater efficiencies.

Team and Client Accountabilities - as your process and software/apps change so do the roles of

your team and clients. You can’t keep doing things the same way if your processes are now

automated and new apps have been implemented. Streamlining team and clients accountabilities

must occur so that everyone is clear on how to delivery agreed tasks. The upside is while the

accountabilities are different they are often simpler, leading to greater productivity and growth.

Take the time to review your business process and focus on using technology as an enable to

streamline and automate.
