It should not be to anyone that in today’s world, technology production, industry, trade or services are a way of creating skills in almost every process. Since any new company prepares to create systems for its introduction of products or services, having a “platform mindset” will enable it to gain maximum scales and skills.
A platform mentality intentionally thinking about the goals of all systems: To collect the best of the best from technology In the future a great culture, platform and equipment while maintaining well. However, it must be done with a growth mentality, because there is no general formula and it is involved in learning to go.
It is difficult to guess whether a company will grow as most new businesses are not rich in real life. You may be aware that if the agency grows, you need to think quickly about solving challenges in every region in front of the eye ScaleBecause craftsmanship solutions are chaos in the long run. And the mistakes of a small company have a very different consequences than the mistakes of the agencies already operated on the scales. The best way to reduce the mistakes is to be deliberate about how to increase.
Building for Growth: How to successfully make your startup scale
Eg, a dog’s food business that starts as a Home-based Business and suddenly become popular and need to scale when it increases there may be different priorities. Active contact with customers may need to open a better channel, require specialized software. As the business grows, technology needs to be changed to support its processes and activities in deliberate and integrated ways with the rest of the technology agencies.
The risk of not paying attention to the agency may suddenly become bigger. If each party makes independent decisions and when the company was a start-up, follow the same processes, creating chaos.
For example, an employee’s performance review system that can handle 10 employees that the number reaches 100 can not do so well. Why not? Perhaps Alex from HR will copy the people’s names to the review system from any employee registration, promoting information among the parties involved, then transfer the review to the review system and transfer the comments manually. However, a lot of people, categories and reactions are involved, this type of work flow becomes burdened and eventually becomes a “technical debt v”.
The lack of integrity between employee registration and performance review systems would be a nightmare. The list of employees for evaluation may be wrong, as it depends on the manual processes that are sensitive and scleble for the error.
The company enters the company without the mentality of the platform so that it develops new functionality and systems in conscious ways, technical debs become obstacles in growth and the operation is compromised – even though the product or service is conceptually great. The submission of technical debt o is reduced productivity over time.
Building software with shortcuts, however, is the best way to implement the quality and implement each new feature. However, such a financial debt will occur with, long -term interest collection and technical debses significantly affect productivity.
Scale with the number of employees of the human resource process; Sale processes scale with client numbers; Scale with the number of suppliers suppliers in the operation process; Legal processes scale with employees, clients and numbers of offices. And logistic problems scale with headquarters, clients and number of employees. As a company grows, many aspects are large, and people in leadership must turn their mind into a consolidated technology zone to meet this inexperienced demand – using the mentality of the platform.
The key to performing these evaluations is a senior technology professional on the board as soon as possible. A technology director who plays a leading role in the early stages of an organization, will be able to plan all the process from the point of view of the development and implementation of the system and the formation of the team and the management process.
A technology director appointed by a company that has become chaotic is a more laborious task to review all the processes and in most cases, the team itself revisits the configuration. They have to deal with such questions:
- Is the investment in technology stopped?
- Do people play the right role?
- Are they working on projects that make sense for the company’s mission?
- Which swollen or the shortest team is there?
- Are there any unnecessary projects in different groups?
- Is technology working to reduce the risk in operations over the years?
What’s more, if each section of the company hires a few technology professionals to create 10 systems individually, you will finish with 10 problems. Each of these categories can be better locally than ever, but due to lack of communication and integration, the company will be much less than its possibility as overall.
Instead of, effectively Scale of your business In an integrated fashion, apply the mentality of a platform at the start-up stage and bring a technology leader who can imagine, communicate and implement such a process to facilitate growth and change. The basic partner of your business and the basic partner of the scaling will promote a consolidation vision of technology that includes a purpose of scale and conversion in the future.
