Strategic System Design: Creating a Strategy for Repeat Business

If you’re a business owner trying to develop the foundation of your business, you have to balance two perspectives: the reality, challenges and concerns of what exists today, and goals for the year(s) to come. Reality dictates that you’ll be building systems while still working in your existing business. If you’ve built your organization as a manager or technician—and spent significant amounts of time in the business—you can’t abruptly stop working in it and switch over to working on it overnight. Chaos would surely ensue. Having a systems strategy will help you create balance so you can prioritize working on your new business—what your business will look like in the future.
