Ways To Make Your Business Decisions Fast and Effective

1. Streamline your decision making process

Most product or service decisions today have to go through a chain of command, also known as a sign off loop. In today’s fast paced world sign off loops are more a liability than an asset because the market can change several times before the loop is complete. So how do you ensure all interested parties have their chance to approve a decision while accelerating the process? The answer is a cross functional development team that meets frequently. All those who have a stake attend. The dynamics of the meeting are to constantly review all aspects of the work in progress from idea to delivery and make decisions along the way and as needed. This process provides enormous flexibility (to accommodate the frequent market changes) while ensuring that the best information is available to make a decision and it is clearly communicated across the stakeholders. The efficiency gains here can be quite substantial because when the final decision is made the sign off loop process is also complete.

2. Improve the information available for your employees

Ever notice how much time it takes an engineer to find the document(s) they are looking for to work on their task? If the answer is more than a few minutes than your company is wasting time. A clear focus on organizing and facilitating easy access to key information is not rocket science; it is a matter of discipline. Improvements can be as simple as re-organizing your internal web site so that documents are easier to find. If you have a budget for information management upgrades, consider complimenting your customer resource manager with a content management system. New generation CMS uses metadata tagging for high speed searching with improved accuracy. And they have integrated archive and retrieval capabilities that make the content routing even more efficient. This translates into ultra low time- to- get what’s needed and at a lower support cost.

Improvements small or large in information access allow employees to make more informed decisions, and since they are not searching for days for the information they need, they make them faster. Many decisions are made in every company every day, no matter if the company size is small or large, so the effect of better decisions through better information has a compounding savings.

3. Connect your executives directly with your customers

Many executives spend a lot of time on the road today with their customers. But this is a serial process and often there are long time lags between visits, and the executives typically meet only other executives, or a microcosm of the organization their customer operates. Consider using electronic messaging as a form of directly connecting your executives to the customers. The magic of the internet allows your messages and influence to scale faster across the customer base and across the organizations within the customers. A key difference between these messages and a typical email blast is it comes with your executives name attached to it. This certainly will cause more people to read the message, and even feel connected to the executive if the articulation is correct. These messages translate into more dialogue and more information coming out about your customer’s needs. Or in other words, more and better data to make a more informed decision.

The ability for organizations to improve their decision making capability is a low cost, high return opportunity for stimulating revenue growth. Simple changes can ripple through an organization and have a big payoff.

Advance Tech Marketing helps companies accelerate revenue growth by assessing, recommending, and implementing innovative techniques for streamlining product and service development processes so that more informed decisions are made more rapidly. ATM also offers its innovative techniques through a series of affordable seminars.

Make any adjustments to the decision after it has been implemented. Adjustments may be needed after the fact to improve the situation. Always follow up with the decision to make sure that you have all of your bases covered.
