Title - Use an organisational chart and position contracts to plan for growth Tags - organisationalchart businessgrowth businesssystems
An organisational chart describes the roles and responsibilities of everyone who will operate the business when it has achieved the organisational strategy: 202206031041.
To create an organisational chart:
-
Decide how many employees you will need and what each one will do (the role).
-
For each role, write a position contract explaining who the employee will report to, what work has to be done and by what standards their work will be judged.
-
Divide the roles between the owners so all responsibilities are fulfilled immediately
-
Fulfill the position contracts, discover what works, and document the best approaches as systems to be operated by future employees
-
Gradually hire employees to fulfil each of the roles so the owners aren’t required to operate the business
