Systems Don't Fail, Strategies DO!
Manage episode 456063739 series 3031165
I recently had a conversation with a business leader that made me realize how often people confuse strategy, systems, and tactics. 🚨
❌ The misconception:
Many believe that when you change your strategy, you need to tweak your systems.
💡 The truth:
Systems should not be adjusted just to fit a new strategy. Instead, your systems should be built around your overarching business aim—your mission.
🔑 Why?
Systems are the foundation of your business—your people, processes, and tech. These core elements should remain solid and adaptable, even if your strategy needs tweaking.
✅ Here’s how it works:
- Don’t change systems just because a strategy didn’t work.
- Look within your existing systems for strategic options.
- Adjust the strategy based on your high-level goal, not the other way around.
The goal is to avoid ripping everything apart because a strategy failed. Systems don’t fail—strategies do. Build your business to evolve, not break when things don’t go according to plan.
🔄 Takeaway:
Focus on strengthening your systems first. Then, let your strategy evolve around them.
