EPISODE B3.007 Autonomation - People Doing People Work

RESULTS RADIO..."Let's Grow Together"

Introduction
Hope everyone is looking forward to a great week. We have a few announcements to make about growth of the IBGR Network. 

First, we are doubling the number of new and returning visitors to the site. July was twice June’s numbers and we beat July’s numbers over the weekend.

Second, with the addition of Gambia on Sunday, IBGR is now heard by entrepreneurs in 100 countries. That is 51% of all the countries on the planet. 

Third, we have declared war on Covid19. That is not on the disease itself, just a worse variant of the flu. Our declaration is aimed at those politicians and bureaucrats that are making arbitrary, non-science based decisions on economic activity. People with no skin in the game, collecting checks from our taxes are deciding which business lives or dies. If you do your own research, a stark reality will become apparent - what is happening in your country is not based on science - it is based on power and control.

• THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID19 - DON'T LET THE BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS GIVE YOU A LINE OF BULL.

Put all of this together and we are your advocates against the forces of statism and command economies. We understand entrepreneurs are a different breed that don’t live by the leave of others - why? Because everyone at and associated with the station are entrepreneurs. We are building a network of ideas, insights, and tools that will help you navigate the pandemic and beyond.

Show Objectives - The Why
I first learned of the term Autonomation years ago working at a major automotive company installing lean operations. I was intrigued by the concept of intelligent or human automation because it blended the best of 2 worlds - people and technology.

Given all of the new options for platform or cloud based systems, most provide the ability to create "workflows" that allow you to automate some jobs. Today's show will not focus on the unique offer of various packages, just what parts of the business should be automated.

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Autonomation = intelligent automation,
2. Time consuming and time critical,
3. Repetitive,
4. Prone to error,
5. Multiple data entry

What You Need to Know - The What

• ​Create the system on 'paper' first;
• Use as a guide for selecting platforms - intranet, crm, accounting, project management, etc.;
• Start with SOP's (Standard Operating Procedures)

​What You Need to Do​​ - The How

1. Identify your resources.
2. Make a list of tasks that must be accomplished.
3. Assign the tasks to whom is accountable for its completion.
4. Create a workflow diagram (value map) to visualize the process.
5. Test the workflow with pilot group.
6. Conducting training to start and as needed.
7. Deploy the workflow enterprise wide.
