One of the things that many people underestimate when changing their business systems is the time it takes. They often think that if they do it themselves, it will magically happen and they’ll find the right time. But let’s be honest, you’re running your own business, and your people are focused on delivering your products or services. Taking someone away from their regular tasks and giving them a dedicated project is a significant resource requirement.

Building a business system involves various tasks. You need someone to analyse the requirements, someone to build it, someone to communicate with users, and someone to provide training. In the upcoming parts of this series, we’ll delve into each of these aspects. However, in this episode, we highlight the importance of dedicating proper time to the project for its success.

Doing It Properly

If you’re thinking about implementing a business system, take a step back and think about how you want to approach it. Do you have the proper resources and dedicated time within your business to ensure it is done properly? Alternatively, do you need someone else within the business to take ownership of the project, someone you can work with and have confidence in to handle it effectively on your behalf?

Success through Dedicated Time

In this first episode, we’ve emphasized the significance of allocating the right level of dedicated time to ensure the success of your business system project. Taking the time and resources to properly analyse requirements, build the system, communicate with users, and provide training is crucial. By doing so, you increase the chances of achieving a successful transition to new business systems.
