Finding Peace in Turbulent Times: How Processes Provide Stability
by: Gerardo Ibá?ez
Entrepreneurs face barriers or obstacles when they find themselves in moments of instability, but they can learn to navigate through them, thus ensuring their survival even during an apparently endless crisis. A well-designed production process helps the organization to anticipate and optimize the resources it will need, eliminating superfluous operations and reducing costs. However, an inefficient process can lead to poor performance and low productivity, undermining the profitability of the company.
In order to talk about the stability needed, it is vital to understand the concepts of consistency and efficiency. Consistency in business processes means maintaining a consistent and uniform way of performing tasks and operations within a company, without making significant changes. On the other hand, efficiency is about performing those tasks in the best possible way, using the available resources efficiently.
Established processes offer a clear guide on how to carry out various tasks within a company. From human resources management to production and marketing, having well-defined processes ensures that each action is carried out consistently and efficiently. This not only improves the quality of work but also saves valuable time and resources.
An article from Forbes mentions that building business processes should be part of the culture from the beginning, and also highlights that if you start with the right processes, you can overcome obstacles in any environment.* This leads us to the conclusion that establishing efficient processes is fundamental to the long-term success of any venture.
One piece of advice that the Powertrain team can offer is that AI can provide a set of powerful tools to optimize these processes, offering valuable insights and automating repetitive tasks. It is crucial to take advantage of these tools which to be honest, we have easily within our reach, and this would leads us to make the right steps that will help us navigate through rough terrain without succumbing in the attempt.
