While on vacation in Mexico, a woman bought four decorative tile numbers to create a plaque of her address similar to what is shown here:
Once the numbers were glued to a wood plaque, it was ready to add to the front yard. The woman spent some time deciding where to place it. Should it be placed on the front of the house? What about in the flower bed closest to the house? Or, maybe on the big tree would work?
There were a multitude of ideas. As the woman continued to consider her options, she realized that whatever choice she made, she wasn’t sure how to best mount it. Each option would require some installation and she was unsure what that would involve.
This is a reminder that although we often know what we need to do to solve a problem we are also unsure how to accomplish that. For some, knowing how to mount a wood plaque is easy. However, there are other tasks that are well outside that person’s knowledge and expertise.
That is the value of Consultants, Expert Tools, and Resources: realizing we are not experts at everything and being wise enough to tap into the solutions available to help us determine the “how” of resolving our issues.
If you recognize that you need to build a strong operational foundation for sustainability and growth and do not want to use Consultants or hire more Staff and/or prefer a do-it-yourself, less expense resource, My COO Resources is that alternative to help you identify and resolve what needs to be done.
