If you documented your SOPs and didn't look at them, refine and perfect them to make your flywheel run more smoothly, that's on you as a leader.

They might not be useful because he has low to no employee turnover. The employees wrote it. If and when there is a new hire, that is when the new hire can use it as a resource.

I tried implementing something like process street. It became cumbersome for me to even follow someone's directions. With the apps like loom or some recorder, you can see it in real time and at least for me and most people I work with. That's the best way to learn. Loom also makes a summary and creates action steps and titles your video. Essentially, when we communicate it's through slack and then when we need to show something it's through a loom link. (No affiliation with loom)

@@Regina.Clarke SOP's work effectively for; 1. single-entity businesses not holding company's - the thought processing is on altered levels, and 2. businesses that have a high employee turnover rate to fast-track new hires into the organization - as initially stated by @Regina.Clarke. This is what I've gathered from my experience. And remember @carwoman43, there are different metrics for businesses to 'succeed' - some are profit driven, others are driven to reach a social/environmental goal, others are just a means to an end, and others are to manage other businesses (holding company's). So we can continuously learn and grow as leaders.

We are RUN-OPS rely heavily on mapping out the sales, fulfilment and customer service processes for our $1M to $10M clients. This is basically how we do it in nutshell. It takes a while but is very VERY valuable for our clients. It's what propels our work to success and unlocks more profits and streamlined processes for our customers.

This makes over complicated for beginners. Actually SOPs are not checklists, checklists are for Executive level, SOPs are for supervisors and trainers, and flowcharts are for mangers. The objective of the "SYSTEM" should be to clearly state what to do, in which order, by whome and when, plus its objective is also that if an error or malfunction occures we should be capable to locate the responsibility easily. Thats how you create a perfect framework for future teams to empower them take decisions.

I used to have my own business. Could have used this information back then. Now I continue to work on...myself. These principles can also apply to personal well being and growth. I can visualize it as I type! Thanks. Subscribed.

This will be enormously enlightening for businesses who have never heard of automated workflows.

Somehow KZread’s algorithm did its magic and reached me. I am extremely mesmerised with your process/framework. I sell products (digital) In theory you have to create OPs for: Customer Journey ( how they purchase) Email Automation ( how to increase LTV, grab testimonials etc) How you create/select the product. Am I right or I missing something?

At sales unit, we have been looking for a tried and test way to create an SOP for our business, and I think we have found it, I am so sharing this with my team.

Have you ever come across a video and it validates what you're doing with a structured video with all these formal terms? This is it! I am doing this incessantly without realizing that I'm continue building up what I'm establishing. Thank you for the structure! I'll try to re-map my visual engines based on this. 😅

Amazing thoughts here Ryan! I volunteer with an Global organization and the success of the organization is largely because of these systems already in place. Everyone in the organization work like a well oiled engine both locally and globally as a result! I also love the stickers approach and will be adopting it. Thanks for sharing

Honestly, thanks so much for this content, I was about to do some analysis at some projects for my Clients and all that the internet offered was over complicated stuff that didn’t really tought me how to prioritize one process over the over. Thanks again!!

It's honestly a great book. People just take it too far and think that "documenting everything" is the answer to scale. It's a piece of the puzzle but not the entire solution.

I have never worked for a company that has used SOPs on a daily basis to run the company. Why? Human nature. As employees get more and more comfortable with their jobs, they stop looking at them, and they stop updating them. Most employees don’t feel or understand why they need these tools. Most ignore them after training. Most feel like their way is better than the documented way.

Absolutely needed this video 👍🏽 Highly value content Ryan !

Great tips on building systems. Thanks.

So it’s value stream mapping then? 😂😂😂 one of the main purposes of SOPs is to establish a basis for improvement, a tool for onboarding and training, a reference for infrequently carried out processes, ultimately to establish a baseline for your processes that you constantly improve. The framework you outline doesn’t cover any of that. In fact, so far there is no book or framework that properly simplifies this process and makes value adding for the average business. We are currently fixing that! Thanks for the thought process though.

This is an SOP. It’s just visual as opposed to literature.

I really appreciate the way you structured the topic, it got me unstuck.

Now you can take all that data you spent a month putting together with your people and scan it into a large language model. Then your people can chat directly to your business as if it were an almost sentient, intelligent being. So don’t be so quick to discount the value of all that data you put together.

Let me give it a shot. I will give you feedback

However, while this approach offers many benefits, it's important to note that it may not be suitable for all types of businesses or industries. Highly regulated industries, for example, may still require more extensive documentation for compliance purposes.

I’m no expert, but this is strikingly similar to what you’d do with mind mapping. Even stranger, I feel..? spinning.? Yes.. spinning..in some kind of spiraling fluid dispensary apparatus, like liquid being moved from one set place into a new home.. it’s almost as though some outside force is herding me like an animal into some centralized network.. like a concentric.. circle..? Concentric circle.. fluid displacement.. predetermined location… buy at the end… hey.!? this is just an SOP on how to mind map a sales funnel… nice try slyther... Generally speaking I frown on wasteful activities, like ruining a white board by using a sharpie.

Ironically, these explanations seem like a form of SOP.

This is the modern version of a WBS.

So everyone documents what they do and you never look at those documents again? Not even to train a new or replacement hire? Brilliant way to make operations stupid.
