The Corporate Puzzle

Posted by vernonsimpson on October 8, 2012

The 7 specific areas you need to consider in your franchise prototype process:

  • Primary Aim
  • Strategic Objectives
  • Organisational Strategy
  • Management Strategy
  • People Strategy
  • Marketing Strategy
  • Systems Strategy

 

These 7 areas will fine turn your plan for the ultimate level of success. In this lesson we are going to cover the first three.

Primary Aim

It’s essential in business development to set goals and see a vision for the future. This needs to go beyond the business and you need to think about what you want out of life. What do you dream about? How do you see your success unfolding? Knowing and understanding these things will give you the momentum to get started and the stamina to see it through. Even take a minute to write them down and tape to your desk for a constant reminder of what you’re aiming for.

Strategic Objectives

These are essential in taking your business from surviving to thriving. All of these objectives should offer solutions for how to get to your primary aim. There are many things you can use to set strategic objectives, but here are a couple of the most popular:

  1. Money: Setting monetary goals is a great, simple way to see how you are doing at any point in the game. It’s easy to measure and easy to find adjustments to help meet this goal.
  2. Worthy Opportunities: When considering partnerships and other business opportunities you need to think about whether or not they will help you reach your primary aim. Those that will are the best opportunities to seriously consider.

The key in setting standards and goals is not to limit you or stress yourself out. You need to find some quantifiable things you can use to measure your progress toward your primary aim. These are just two suggestions, but make sure no matter what standards you set you are paying attention to the details, as these are one of the biggest keys to your success.

Organisational Strategy

The strength of your organisational structure can make or break your business, so it’s important to take the time to put together a solid structure for your business to grow from. Generally a company is organised around the roles and responsibilities that need to be taken care of on a daily basis and the personalities that need to fulfill those roles.

No matter what roles and responsibilities you’ve defined for your employees, you must always keep your personal primary aim separate from your company’s primary aim or mission statement. Once you’ve identified the primary aim for your company it will be easy to set up a position structure that will work.

Don’t forget to put together position contracts or job descriptions. Your employees should sign a statement of their roles and responsibilities. This helps keep them clear for you, the employee and other employees/vendors or other individuals.

You can see how these areas all work together to build a solid structure on which to build your business. If you need help defining any of these areas, you can check out the resources, and tools we have at Nydes.

Until the next time.

    First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
    you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.

    I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.

    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or
    tips? Many thanks!

    Hi! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I
    had to ask. Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?
    I am completely new to operating a blog however I do write
    in my diary daily. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share
    my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have
    any kind of recommendations or tips for new
    aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

    Hi there, There’s no doubt that your site could possibly be having browser compatibility issues.

    Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks
    fine however when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, fantastic blog!

    Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused ..
    Any suggestions? Bless you!

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell
    you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is
    something not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I found this in my search for something relating to this.
