How to build an efficient management system in your business?
Artyom LyulkovichIn today's world, it is not enough to become successful with just one idea, but its implementation is much more important. And if you are doing well at the start, no one gives you a guarantee that this will continue forever. This is especially true for online business, which is based on interaction with customers.
So, if you maintain a staff of 20 employees and provide services only in your city, then everything can work well without a specialized approach to building the management system of your business.
However, when it comes to expanding your current business, not always what worked well before will work as well now. When you have to manage a team of more than 50 people, who can also be located in different offices, and some even work from home, then you will face the problem of organizing business processes within your company and building an effective management system.
Why should you abandon the hierarchical management system?
The hierarchical management system is one of the most ancient methods of management, when people began to unite in communities. Each community should have its own leader, and the leader should have several trusted people to help him manage the community more easily.
The modern management system in business has not gone far from this. Only the statuses assigned to each layer in this management system have changed. Here is an example of a typical hierarchical management system in modern business:
Of course, such a management system has its advantages, but now it is much more important to talk about the problems that arise in a business that uses this approach to management.
Inefficiency in a highly competitive market.
Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black. — Henry Ford
A hierarchical management system will work fine as long as your niche has a demand that significantly exceeds the supply of your competitors. Unfortunately, such situations are very rare today. You will have to compete with a lot of other companies if you want to continue to scale your business.
In a highly competitive environment, you will have to make strategic decisions almost every second, taking into account hundreds of external and internal factors.
Low level of employee responsibility.
The degree of responsibility of employees will be lower the lower the position they hold. This may come down to the fact that the employee will simply follow orders from above, while not understanding what is happening in the company. Thus, the top management layer will always be blamed for a bad result.
Long-term informing of the team.
It may take several days for the decision made by the Supreme management to reach all other employees. Because of this, your business may suffer serious losses. For example, when there was a problem that caused your site to stop working correctly. If this continues for several days, you risk not only lost orders, but also the reputation of the entire company.
What do you need to make efficient management system inside your business
In order to build an effective management system in your company, it is not necessary to radically change the entire approach to management. Just solve the problems that you have now.
What will it take?
- Established system of interaction between employees
- Unified file system and data models
- Transparency at any stage of all processes
How do I implement this?
To implement all the points described above, you will need to develop your own corporate SOFTWARE, where everything will be configured for specific tasks and taking into account the specifics of the business. In other words, we need an entire ecosystem that will ensure excellent interaction of business processes and help establish communication among employees. At the same time, you can individually configure access rights to this ecosystem.
How much does it cost?
Well, developing this kind of software will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. This will be especially costly if you work in a field that is far from IT. In this case, you will have to hire a whole team of specialists. In addition, development and testing can take up to one year.
