INSIGHT

One Role Changes Systemization Outcomes

A single dedicated role dramatically increases systemization success in businesses.
David Jenyns calls this role the Systems Champion and wrote a playbook for the person doing it.

ADVICE

Hire A Dedicated Systems Person Early

Hire a dedicated person to own documentation, tooling, and culture rather than overloading your ops manager or owner.
Start with a junior who has capacity and pair them with senior experts to extract best practice.

ADVICE

When To Add A Systems Champion

Consider adding a systems champion once you have about 7–10 staff; it can be part-time at first.
A junior systems champion builds a foundation that makes later hiring an ops manager far easier.
