The changing economy today requires business to continually evolve to find the edge over the competition and to meet the current demands to stay competitive and relevant in their own marketplace. Are your internal processes becoming restrictive and holding your business back? Are you spending large amounts of time on the day to day operations of your business chasing problems and not working on developing your business? Then this could be costing you $1000’s every day.

Successful solution implementations follow a structured implementation methodology. Methodologies differ between products and market segments, they are developed over time using past experiences, and they all have a structured process that they follow to ensure that they are maximising the opportunity for success. Solutions these days are no longer associated with huge costs in hardware, software and resources to manage them. With cloud based subscription services there is no need for hardware or the resources to run them. Software can be secured on a monthly or annual subscription base and therefore has a much lower entry cost to your business. Big business has been using these solutions for many years, and with the development of these fully functional subscription based solutions, now small and medium business has the same opportunities, but at a fraction of the overall cost. These solutions should be fully scaleable so that there is continued growth within the solutions as your business grows.

For small business there are further opportunities to break the big projects into smaller components, so that you have one eye on the big picture and the complete solution, while the delivery mechanism of structured projects is in smaller, secular stages that have less impact on your day to day business activities as a whole. The smaller projects are keeping you in line with the big picture, but are easier to manage and implement in their own right within your business. Business benefits will be achieved as each of those secular projects comes to fruition.

Big business invests a lot of time, money and resources into developing and implementing solutions that improve their business processes. They have been doing this for years, and not always with the appropriate levels of success that they should. With structured processes and implementation methodologies that have been developed over time, the success rates have improved significantly.

If you are regularly working up to 80 hours per week in your business… Then you are failing yourself and those around you!
