Better Your Business

What if you could access all of your files on your cell phone.  Would an iPad help you at work?  What if your business forms were all digital?  What if you could cut down your keystrokes?  How about using a scanner to process invoices?  How about real time data transfer on a secure site that you can access anywhere or any time?



WORK SMARTER-  Is a phrase that you hear and say to yourself that makes sense, but you do nothing about. Why?  Fear?  I don't know why.  I ask you to think about what you do- your daily duties.  How do you complete those tasks?  Is there a way to do them better or smarter?  What would you need for this to happen?





Ok, still think about that?  Make a "what if" list.  The list might be split into columns.  The first column would list the things that you could do, let's say, smarter.  The second column would be the things you needed to enable you to work smarter.  The third column would be the cost associated with that solution.  Most people stop there.  I would say add a 4th column.  The 4th column would be the benefit column.  This could be saving 5 minutes per day, or increase speed. or even cost savings.

This 4th column is the one to concentrate on.  Associate a cost to your "work smarter" list.  Break this down to the immediate cost benefit and multiply that for a month and then a year.



Organize this list by cost savings and get to it.

Ask each person in your department to do the same.  Review your lists and pick 3 things to move on.  Commit to it and make it happen.  Your business and your staff will thank you for formulating some direction that improves their working conditions, improves the inner workings of the business, and saves the company money.
