This week’s key takeaway: Structure your business for results with the right team - with Ben Fewtrell and David Carlin

 

Episode intro: Structuring a business can be very confusing. There are certain conventions that we’re all aware of, but are they right for YOUR business?

 

A business structure is about so much more than an organisational chart. To know who manages who is a decent starting point, but the key is in the accountability for the fundamental tasks and outcomes that drive your business. We’ll talk you through how to do it properly…

 

In this week’s episode you will learn:
  • Why you shouldn’t simply do what you already know
  • How to assess a small business differently to a large one
  • Who should be accountable to who?
  • The KPIs you need to know
  • Why you should separate responsibility for conversion from sales
  • How to measure employees with multiple roles
  • Why a business owner should have different accountability to an employee
  • How to stop your team being overly dependent on you
  • How to strike the right balance between systemising and humanising
  • How long it should take to restructure your business
