5 Words to start recording how you do business ( writing procedures )
Have you started writing down how do a specific task ?
- Not completed it?
- Needed to do the task again and realised you have no idea where you stored the document?
- Recreated the document it again and oops forgot where it you put it?
You are not alone ! – With out a clear way of storing information on tasks, processes and procedures you will do this over and over again.
So what do you need to write down?
- When – Frequency – how often do we do this? ( The 1st Wednesday of the month)
- Who does it – name the role preferably not the person
- What needs to be done ? In what order?
- Why do we need to get this done – does it impact on other areas if it is left?
- How is it done ? – get really specific
Know you need this and don’t have the time or skills to do it yourself?
