Here is a question that seems to be very popular:

“If you could change one thing what would you choose?”

People tend to choose something big, ambitious and often unrealistic, difficult or even impossible to achieve. In business, I believe this question has its place, especially during a strategic review, but what about the rest of the time? I suggest an alternative question that could produce greater benefits and is particularly relevant to the operational side of your business.

“If you could change one hundred small things what would you choose?”

Why is this question relevant? Because small changes are easier to find, take less time to implement, cost less and often the people who are aware of them are those we hear from least i.e., those doing the job! Big changes usually mean big resistance. Empowering people to make small changes means a greater buy-in as the ideas come from within your teams.

This approach is also known as “Continuous improvement”. Its purpose is to make gradual improvements at little or no cost, using your knowledge, not your money.

Getting software to communicate means that your staff don’t have to enter the same information into two different systems. Apart from taking twice as long to do, there is a greater possibility of error when ‘double keying’ not to mention the demoralising effect on your staff.

This example demonstrates savings using my three favourite performance measures:

Time, money and effort.

Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited (RBSI) have a system known as EQ. This is an electronic banking system for their business customers in the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. Customers of the Isle of Man Bank can also use the system.

One of the most popular Accounting packages for businesses is Sage Line 50.

kdr ebusiness have recently completed the development of software that enables Sage Line 50 and EQ to communicate quickly, easily and without error. The cost of the software will be offset by time savings in your office (typically a three month payback period).

If you use EQ and Sage Line 50, get in touch and start saving time, money and effort!

UPDATE: Our system now also works with the LloydsTSB Offshore internet banking system

We have also prepared a short presentation to further explain how the system works.
