What if you knew all the big potholes that could be obstructing your business journey?
For that, I have put together this Business Potholes Heatmap Checklist where I walk you through:
The 18 key areas where bad potholes often quietly attack and devour business goals.
The 61 questions to guide you in assessing which of these areas to watch out for.
Let's get straight into it.
1. PEOPLE
Who are the people that your business depends on in order to operate normally?
Is there any group of these people who are not delivering their jobs effectively lately, or those whom you need to monitor their work so closely because most of the time when you leave them doing the work by themselves, something goes wrong?
How effectively does your diverse team work with each other on the day-to-day operations?
Is your training and capability development plan adequate to equip your key employees to operate your business effectively?
If one of your key employees has to be away in an emergency, can his/her job be covered by other employees smoothly with sufficient documented instruction and procedure (knowledge retention)?
Will you be able to take a break from your business at any time and still have your ongoing business activities taken care of by your trusted team?
Have you recently dismissed a key employee who could be disgruntled/resentful?
