Trouble Focusing?

A  businessman has thoughtclouds above his head full of conflicting things, while saying to another man that the new system just needs to do everything

You have a lot on your mind when you're running a business. You want to boost efficiency, improve quality, cut costs, increase sales, retain customer loyalty, and target new markets. Translating all these equally valid, but potentially conflicting objectives, into a clear, achievable plan is challenging, especially against a backdrop of economic and technological uncertainty.

What should you focus on first? Should you invest in new tech to outrun the competition, or batten down the hatches and sit out the storm? Do you need to spend a lot of money to see a return? Can you make do and mend a bit longer?

Doing nothing is never the answer - especially if your systems are starting to creak at the seams - but neither should you jump straight to buying an expensive solution that promises the world.

📈 What's your business strategy and key objectives? IT is a great facilitator, but someone needs to be in the driving seat.

🔎 Do a state of the nation review - what are your biggest pain points or looming time bombs?

🤔 What do you know with confidence? If your data isn't fit for purpose, how can you make informed decisions?

👍 Start simple and layer on complexity as needed: trying to solve every problem simultaneously prevents progress.

Change doesn't need to be expensive, but it does need to be carefully considered - call Fettle IT - Jargon Free Consultancy for affordable, practical help.
