Lessons are all around us….if we know what to look for!

Here’s a wee clip from the film The Founder. It’s of the ‘Speedee System’ the McDonald brothers created to systemise the production of their hamburgers from grill to sale in 30 seconds.

One of the smartest things you can do in business is to systemise it as much as possible such that other people can run it and that the outcome of the system is consistent every time.

Our motto at ActionCOACH is to “Systemise the Routine and Humanise the exception”. This basically means that most things you do in your business each day are routine things. So get these bits systemised. For the stuff that can’t be systemised, we train people to deal with as many of the possibilities as we can think up and let them handle the situations as they arise.

I appreciate you’re not in the business of flipping burgers but it’s interesting to watch the artistry these guys put into crafting the system which – let’s face it – has turned McDonalds into one of the best known brands in the world.

Interesting eh!
