Is your business relying on one person?

If you answered yes, ask yourself Why?

• Why do you rely on one person?
• Why do they know everything?
• Why do they keep things moving?
• Why can they fix issues so quickly?
• Why can no one else step in and do the same?

Relying on one person does not feel like a problem until it becomes one.

Often it works because they knows everything, keeps things moving, and can fix issues quickly.

What happens when they can’t?

This is where the risk sits, what has actually happened is you have unknowingly create a single point of failure.

If any of the following happens it will cause problems:

• They are too busy to deal with something.
• The are off.
• They leave the business.

At that point, the business is exposed. There is no clear structure for others to pick things up and keep things moving.

This is not a people issue. It’s a process issue.

When processes are clear, documented, and kept up to date, knowledge is shared. Work becomes repeatable, and the business is no longer reliant on one individual.

If this feels familiar, I am always happy to have a conversation and share a few practical pointers.

At 6am this morning I watched in awe as the refuse collectors demonstrated the power and value of a well-followed process.

We live in a tiny crescent which doesn’t fit a bin lorry so they have to stop at the top and collect the bags (yes bags) by hand. Despite the size of the road the workers divided the task into 3, with one tackling one third of the crescent each.

They know where they’re going and exactly what they need to do. They understand their timings and their deadlines and they almost always deliver.

Knowing their process allows them to be proactive in fulfilling their tasks. Today, one house had a lot more bags than the others so they divided again to spread the workload and achieved the result in the same timescale with minimal disruption.

That is an effective process. Can you say the same for yours?

Having a privacy notice is a legal requirement for businesses that collect or handle personal data including names, email addresses and phone numbers.

If you don’t have one you are risking fines and legal action.

We know exactly what it needs to cover, the information you need and we tailor it to your specific business. A generic privacy notice isn’t going to cut it.

There is another face hiding in the background of ATG. This is Chelsey.

A former Lawyer turned Investigator, Chelsey specialises in GDPR and compliance for SMEs.

She has over a decade of experience in data protection, criminal law, misconduct and anti-trust and is a self-confessed Law nerd. Don’t start talking to her about the Police and Criminal Evidence Act…you have been warned!

GDPR and compliance are necessary and complex, most SMEs don’t have the bandwidth to deal with them along with everything else and this is where we come in.

Here’s an example of how I simplified the restock process for an agricultural manufacturer to save time, production costs and efficiency.

The manufacturing area had multiple ‘bin’ locations, containing regularly used parts for production. This system was designed to make it quicker for production staff to gather the parts used most often.

In theory this was a great idea, BUT there was no system in place to refil the bins, so once the parts were used, the bins would run to empty and there was no set process to refill them. This resulted in production delays due to staff having to navigate the main parts store or wait for the bins to be refilled without an allocated person to do it.

The gap was glaringly obvious to me, but staff and management were so used to this broken system, they couldn’t identify the issues.

The issues were:

• Strong system without a process.
• Parts running out too quickly.
• Lost profit from production delays.
• Convaluted alternative solutions.

How I fixed the process:

• We reviewed the number of parts consumed on average per machine per day.
• Doubled the parts bins to accommodate usage.
• Introduced Kanban cards to facilitate accurate restocks.
• Introduced dedicated staff members to refill parts as consumed.

Cut the chaos. Fix the process.

We went from a non-sensical approach to a systematic, efficient, data-driven process.

Often it takes an outside pair of eyes to see the missing links in an otherwise good process. That’s where I come in. What processes do you have in place?

Nice coffee (Chelsey) and tea (Ben) stop at The Hub Sleaford today after some great networking at Sleaford Business Community.

Had some great conversations today especially around data protection.

One of our specialisms at ATG Consultancy is GDPR and Data Protection. Talking to others about the risks of breaches really highlights just how many small businesses overlook it.

It isn’t because they don’t care, it’s because they are spinning too many plates to manage it as well. That’s where we come in. We cut the chaos and fix the process.
