Questions and answers

Should existing staff feel threatened?

Only if they are holding back your organisation by empire building and trying to make themselves indispensable.

Can benefits be measured?

The most successful entrepreneurs act on instinct. They recognise the benefits and weigh up the risks and costs without resorting to extensive and speculative number crunching.

How do you measure the benefit of a manager freeing up days and weekends he would otherwise spend producing reports.

The sales potential of easier, quicker and more accurate information is easy to see but not always as obvious to measure.

Can I reduce staff costs?

Sometimes – but this is not the objective. Managers can devote their time to other areas of the business.
Staff can be better employed in producing results and more meaningful reports.

The better the info going in, the better the info coming out.
You will be receiving info you never thought possible merely because it was previously too hard to obtain.
Your current staff are best equipped for this and can be redeployed in more profitable activities.
