BUSINESS IS PERSONAL MARK RIFFEY
HOW FAST CAN YOUR
IBUSINESS GO?
faster than last year? Did you go faster last year than the year before? Do you expect this need to accelerate every year is going to continue, or do you think that things will go back to normal once you get past this next push?
I think you need to plan on need for speed sticking around for the duration.
Two Ways to Go Fast
With that expectation on your back, there are two ways to go fast – with haste, or with a system.
While those who start o with haste might get a lead, it’s pretty typical that they will nd themselves assembling the plane while rolling down the runway. Some pull it o . Most don’t, because they aren’t designed for speed. Instead, they simply decided to go fast.
Deciding to go fast is OK. Deciding to do it without a system designed to keep the quality of everything at the level your clients are used to (or better) is risky.
Systems are the Key
A system of systems is what you’ll need to increase speed without losing the quality and other factors your clients already depend on. Each system can be simple, but you have to be able to rep- licate it, perhaps automate it and most of all depend on it to perform a certain job. A system’s job might be to check the quality of one step of a process, or sim- ply to verify its completion. 10 systems might check quality at 10 places, or might make sure you follow up properly, insure that you have the right data recorded, or con rm that you have the right materi- als and labor scheduled for a particular item. These processes become a system of systems when they work together to help your business work.
When this system of systems is designed to protect the moving parts of your business, then you’re designed for speed and can increase the speed of production and delivery without risking quality and reputation.
Once you have these things in place, you’ll be more di cult to compete with. Not only do competitors have to keep up with your quality, but now they also are forced to deal with the pace you maintain.
S YOUR BUSINESS READY TO FACE A no-huddle o ense?
In case you aren’t a football fan, here’s a quick summary of di erences between “regular” and “no-huddle” o enses:
• A regular o ense has 25-30 seconds (depending on the league) to “read” sig- nals (instructions) from coaches on the sideline, swap players in and out from the bench (if desired), huddle (have a brief meeting) and start the next play. In the huddle, the quarterback tells everyone what the play is, communicates the infor- mation necessary to run the play, and makes sure everyone knows what signal they’ll use to trigger the hiking of the ball to start the play. The read, swap, huddle process starts as players walk and/or jog back to their teammates at the end of the previous play.
• A no-huddle o ense handles the read signals, swap players and huddle steps as they run back to the line to setup for the next play. As soon as they are set, the ball is usually hiked to start the play. Instead of 25-30 seconds between plays, you might see 8 to 12 seconds (on average) on a well-run no-huddle o ense.
The big di erence between these two setups is that the defense also has the same time to read, meet, swap and setup for the next o ensive play – with the reg- ular o ense. With the no-huddle o ense, the defense has to react much more quickly. While the o ense has to move fast to keep the defense “unprepared,” they at least know what’s going to hap- pen next – even if the quarterback makes last minute changes (audibles) before the play starts.
A no-huddle o ense quickly exposes defenses that haven’t practiced against no-huddle o enses. More importantly, it exposes a team without a system in place to deal with playing a no-huddle team.
OK, that was a long-winded setup, but I didn’t want to lose anyone unfamil- iar with football in the U.S. The point of comparing the regular o ense and the no-huddle o ense is that there are par- allels between how defenses handle the tempo of a no-huddle game and how your business deals with the increasing tempo of business, much less the pace of change.
Are you feeling the pressure to deliver
“A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS IS WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO INCREASE SPEED WITHOUT LOSING THE QUALITY.”
