  • Simplify 🟡 & Triumph 🥇

    Simplify something for your customer and you may have a viable business.

    If not, you won´t. It is that simple 😉.

    Your consumer wants to have as little complexity as possible. And will pay and reward you with loyalty if you do it for them.

    Forget image, forget positioning, forget marketing for now. These are secondary.

    ❶ Answer the following 5 questions:

    • What portion of your business (people and process) faces the customer?
    • How can you make each element of your business less complex for your customer?
    • What can you reduce from 3 steps down to just ONE?
    • What can you do for your customer so that they don’t have to do it themselves?
    • How can you save time, hassle, headaches, stress for your customer?

    ❷ Now get your team together and list small improvements for each of these 5 topics.

    ❸ Give full autonomy to each and every one and act daily to make life simpler for your customer.

    Making things simple is a craft. Simplicity is art.

    Simplify something for your customer and you may have a viable business.

    Simplify something every day for your customer and you will become a Small Giant.

  • Owning underperformance

    Owning underperformance

    If you are the Boss/Owner/Manager/Team Leader/… and the people in your team are not performing that is 👉 on you.

    The solution 🧪 can be broken down into 4 steps:

    1. Own it. Accept and let everyone know this is on you.
    2. Improve your communication. Build a coalition around solving the problem through dialogue.
    3. Be clear about the underperformance and then ask what you can do to help.
    4. Then actually start helping… (this is often the secret ingredient…😉)

    Underperformance is not fatal. It is the inability to take the above 4 steps that often proves to be fatal…

    Small decisions ✅ with a BIG impact 🚀.

  • Service = The Future

    Some say we are a #technology industry.

    While others say we sell #products and #systems.

    While this may be true…

    I know our #future will be #service.

  • Your Digital Transformation… Why, How, What?

    The world is changing. It is changing fast. Faster and more profound every day. 🤯

    To adapt to change is to transform 🐛🦋 ourselves and our businesses. Transformation is a process. It takes time. It takes commitment. It is more a journey than a destination.

    Digital transformation is not black or white. It is a hybrid, phased and personal process.

    Over the last few years, I have been working with several visionary and experienced business owners and operators on transforming our businesses using technology.

    Digital transformation is the process through which companies take a new look at their existing self and remake themselves with the help of new technologies and new ways of thinking.

    We believe in Open Source Business Building and want to share our process and journey with other SME business owners or operators. That is why we have crafted this document on digital transformation for you to download.
    We hope it is useful 🙏🏻 and can help you thrive in the world of today and tomorrow.

  • Building a small giant

    Rome had no written constitution, just a common understanding of how people should behave. When that fell apart, the Roman Empire did, too.

    #culture is that unwritten constitution.

    #smallbusinesses can be places where people lead fulfilling lives, and to create such a business is a quest that is a fulfilling mission in itself.

    Building a #smallgiant is what we are doing at Genesis. Together as a team. Together with our partners.

    Join us.

    Join the movement.

    Together we can build great things.
