25 Effective Formats to Package Your Systems
One of the questions we got over and over at the Business Owners Success Conference this past weekend was on how to build systems that actually get USED in your business.
Remember, every system has two layers to it, the content layer and the format layer.
The content layer is simply, does the process work? In other words, if I follow that steps, will I get my result?
The format layer has to do with getting people to USE your system in the business, versus just ignoring it.
Here is a quick list of 25 potential formats for you to package your
systems to make them easier and more effective for team members to use.
1. Checklists
2. Scripts
3. Worksheets
4. Step-by-step instructions
5. Software that automates a process
6. Databases of key information
7. Pricing lists
8. Templates and samples
9. Common Q & A sheets
10. Written “ warnings” for an area, providing how to deal with predictable problems
11. Spreadsheets with built-in formulas
12. Camera-ready artwork
13. Filing system (paper or electronic)
14. Preapproved vendors lists
15. Standardized equipment and parts
16. Online communication tools for effectively sharing information
(discussion forums, wikis, whiteboards, social networks, etc.)
17. Delivery timetables
18. Job or role descriptions
19. Instructional videos
20. Project management software with reusable project pathways
21. Reporting templates
22. Organizational charts
23. Pre-approved forms and contracts
24. A timeline or Master Calendar
25. Complete enterprise management software
I hope this list sparks your thinking about how you can build better systems for your company.
Have a great week everyone.
