It was a jam packed marathon of a day at the Atlanta Beltline funding fair 🙌

We met so many incredibly passionate local business owners, and I can’t wait to continue the conversation with them.

The funding fair was a huge success and I have a good few more posts to come highlighting the businesses who exhibited and attended. Plus I’ll be drawing the winner of the El Jefe BOSS Box this weekend 🙌

A process can be documented, teachable, and well-intentioned: and still create confusion when the old version is living in binders, shared folders, text messages, or team memory.

That’s why process version control is more than updating an SOP. It’s about helping the team clearly understand which process is current, who owns the change, and when the new standard becomes the standard.

A practical sequence:

1. Name the process owner.
2. Date the current version and establish an effective date.
3. Explain what changed and why it matters.
4. Remove or retire obsolete instructions wherever they appear.
5. Observe one real use of the updated process in the field.
6. Capture questions, clarify gaps, and improve the process based on what you learn.

The most important step is often the one after publishing: confirming the updated process is actually being used during real work: not just sitting neatly in a folder.

When change has a clear owner, a clear start date, and a visible follow-up rhythm, your team can move with confidence. The process becomes a living guide instead of another document competing for attention.

What’s one process in your business that may have more than one “current” version?

A manager’s title is an invitation to lead: not proof that they are ready to run the operation without the owner filling every gap.

Before adding a location or expanding operating hours, test management readiness through a full operating cycle. Can your manager handle opening or launch planning, lead through peak ex*****on, address a people issue, recover a customer experience, complete end-of-day controls, and create a clear follow-up plan for tomorrow?

A practical test is a supervised owner-absent operating window. The owner stays available for safety or true emergencies, but does not step in to solve routine decisions. Let the manager run the shift, make calls, escalate appropriately, and follow the established systems.

Then hold a short debrief. Ask:
• What decisions did you make?
• What did you escalate, and why?
• Where did the process help: or leave room for confusion?
• What did you complete before leaving, and what is the next-day follow-up?

The goal is not to catch someone failing. It is to see where coaching, clarity, and repetition can help a capable leader level up. When a manager can carry the operation through a complete cycle, expansion becomes more than a hopeful plan: it becomes a well-supported next chapter.

A business can look busy while quietly losing time in the pauses between a question and the next action.

Decision latency is the time between a question being raised, an escalation being made, a decision being reached, and that decision being executed. When ownership or escalation paths are unclear, work pauses, customers wait, managers hesitate, and the owner becomes the default approver for everything from staffing adjustments to vendor choices.

The encouraging part is that you can see this cost before it becomes a bottleneck.

Try this one-week exercise: choose five recurring decisions and track when each question first surfaced, where it waited, when the decision was made, and when ex*****on actually began.

Then set three simple standards for each decision:

1. An owner: Who is responsible for moving it forward?
2. A response expectation: How quickly should the question receive an answer?
3. An escalation trigger: When and to whom should it move if it remains unresolved?

This turns “Why is this taking so long?” into a useful operating conversation. The goal is not to rush every decision. It is to give the right person enough clarity to move it forward while keeping the owner focused on the decisions only they should make.

When decisions move with a clear rhythm, teams gain confidence, customers feel the difference, and the business starts moving like a coordinated crew instead of a line waiting for one person’s approval.

Where is one decision currently waiting in your business? Track it this week and see what the clock reveals.
