BUSINESS SYSTEMS MUST EVOLVE AND GROW WITH A COMPANY

Systems that work well for a single entrepreneur may not be as effective as the company grows and the entrepreneur relies on others.

Systems that work well when they are committed to the owner's memory need to be written down and formalized when employees are asked to follow the systems.

Manual systems - paper forms, pens and pencils - may work well for small enterprises. But when a business grows, manual systems can get in the way of progress - slowing growth, delaying the availability of crucial operating data, and leaving owners and managers frustrated and making decisions in the dark.
