The great Green Bay Packer\u2019s coach, Vince Lombardi, was committed to clarity and focusing on the fundamentals. He was known for starting each football season by holding up a ball and stating, \u201cThis, gentlemen, is a football.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coach Lombardi believed that the basics, the fundamentals, and clarity were the foundation for doing football well.<\/p>\n
Having clarity as to what is important is a wonderful attribute. I recently read Chip Ingram use this acronym: GBTTB, which stands for Get Back to the Basics. Another well known acronym: KISS (Keep it simple, sweetheart) echoes the same thought.<\/p>\n
Yet, if you are anything like me, I sometimes get caught up in the complexity. I need to remind myself that clarity and focus wins out every time.<\/p>\n
We at My COO Resources (www.mycooresources<\/a>) and Aldridge Kerr (www.aldridgekerr.com<\/a>) use a simple, yet highly effective method of identifying our Critical Processes and then focusing on those processes whenever things get too complex. By having clarity on what processes are most important to a Company\u2019s success, then when there is too much to do, the focus and priorities become clear: to work on those tasks (processes) that are most critical.<\/p>\n This approach is so simple that it can get underappreciated. If we consistently recognized the power of what our Company\u2019s priorities should be, we could accomplish so much more.<\/p>\n We believe that knowing a Company\u2019s Critical Processes is so important that it is the first solution that a Company completes once upgrading one\u2019s My COO Resources\u2019 membership. So regardless of what a Company\u2019s operations issues are, identifying their Critical Processes provides the foundation for clarity and focus.<\/p>\n Want help in identifying your Critical Processes?
