Episode 25: Flawless Operations: Streamline Growth with a Solid Process Foundation with Kristy Barber
“If you're doing something that you love, even if you've never got paid for it, you would still love doing it.” —Kristy Barber
Implementing strategic systems and processes is the key to simplifying business growth. When operations are streamlined and customized workflows are established, inefficiencies are eliminated so business leaders can focus on expansion. Systems engineering also establishes a platform where growth becomes manageable rather than daunting.
In this episode, Scott sits with Simplifying Business Growth author, Kristy Barber. By implementing systems and processes that increased operational efficiency, Kristy was able to grow her consulting business. She has also developed customized workflows and integrated accounting software that allowed her to take on more clients without compromising the quality of service.
Tune in as Scott and Kristy discuss how data-driven processes provide visibility and help optimize business performance over time, how clear communication helps address resistance to change and gain buy-in, how business leaders can build their credibility and expand their reach, and much more.
