Business Model workshop.
Adopting the cloud provides opportunities to grow your business in different ways to your traditional model.
Your default model may provide a good incremental growth but when you use technology to remove the frictions in a business you can change your business to scale dramatically in a number of ways.
Typically automation allows you to
Do much more with the same staff enabling you to scale.
Change your cost base and the motivations of the people delivering your results. Automation isn’t just removing work, it is also capturing and reporting information back to create a feedback loops that helps all your staff understand what is happening around them.
You can build in gamification elements to help guide staff to achieve the results your know are going to have an impact on the organisation.
Automation provides consistency of results through automated validation and enabling remote management, sign off and other processes.
This can enable a format franchise option, ensuring everyone in every franchisee is following the steps you have proven work.
It also enables you to pivot into providing a software platform that others can adopt to scale in their local geographic (their suburb or city) or demographic (niche market they understand).
It can reduce the gap between your staff doing the work and your customers receiving the results. This means you can get more detailed feedback faster improving the quality of result and the experience for the customer, and satisfaction for the staff members.
It can remove you and key staff members from being the bottle neck, giving staff and customers the ability and guidance to resolve problems themselves while collecting the data needed to give you the oversight required.
