Project Management 101: How to Prioritize Projects That Matter

July 14, 2018 by Carline Hamdillah

As a business owner, you’re constantly managing projects whether you realize it or not. Your work is split up into tasks that centre around a specific goal. These groups of tasks are what I call “projects” in the entrepreneur’s world. The way I see it – move your tasks along, and you move your projects along… move your projects along, and (technically) you should be moving your big business goals along too. I say “technically” because projects that are not aligned to your big business goals shouldn’t really take up your time or headspace. We all have finite resources to work with – be it time, money, manpower. And it …

Project Management 101: What to Look for in a Project Management Tool

July 7, 2018July 7, 2018 by Carline Hamdillah

If your business delivers projects (and I’m fairly certain it does!), it is so important to have well-defined project management processes in place for the planning, scheduling, resource allocation, task management, and approval side of things. And if you’re thinking, “I don’t run projects,” hold your horses because if you run even the smallest of marketing campaigns, you’re managing projects. That’s right, even your product launches and marketing campaigns are projects. Take for example, a 5-day SEO Challenge. To be able to get from idea to a live challenge with engaged participants, there is a heck of a lot of pre-planning that has to happen around outlining and creating your …

4 Opportunities for Better Business Systems and Processes

April 21, 2018December 9, 2017 by Carline Hamdillah

If you’ve ever looked at other entrepreneurs and wondered how they manage to get it all done, it very likely boils down to having great business systems in place. In fact, I’d hazard a guess and say that the most productive people out there have one thing in common — they refuse to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they go into every recurring task, process or project challenging its value to the bottom-line. And having passed that test, they then look for the most efficient (and if possible, automated) way of doing it. Period. Nothing sexy. No matter what business you’re in and what projects you find yourself tackling, a systemized approach …

Customer Feedback As A Critical Input to Biz Decisions

Customer feedback helps you understand why people do what they do and make the decisions they make in relation to your business. When cross-referenced against hard analytics, it can: (a) take the guesswork out of prioritizing different projects and their accompanying tasks, (b) offer real-time data about your customer’s needs and (c) enable you to offer your customers the best experience possible at every touchpoint. There are lots of ways to listen to your customers and gather feedback. Here are a few: Check in With Them Early – When someone buys one of your products or uses a service, it’s important to give them the opportunity to tell you what …
