Developing systems for use in managing an organization is not rocket science. Developing systems which harness the talent of the staff who must implement and drive those systems is critical. The trick is not mandating change and implementation of new systems, but co-creation of solutions that not only fill the systems gaps, but create “buy-in” with every staff person involved in maintaining a system—and that includes just about everybody.
In many cases, where systems are inadequate or non-existent, the mere fact of “pointing the bat” by utilizing basic feedback from key employees is enough to create eloquent and efficient management systems. Non-profits and small service-oriented businesses tend to be “production houses” to a large degree, creating events, print materials, website content, information, and other tangible “products” on a regular basis. To not have a system in place to discretely manage multiple production projects is a formula for disaster.
