When to Have Too Many Cooks ….

“Too many cooks spoil the broth” is a common saying that many people have heard.

Is there a time to have too many cooks involved in a project in an Entrepreneurial company? Absolutely.

Is your IT Infrastructure an Asset?

As Entrepreneurs grow their companies, their IT infrastructure needs to at least keep up, if not lead.

When the young company starts out, it is normal that the IT systems are built with a boot-strap budget. Entrepreneurs at that time need IT to effectively utilize human resources and keep both costs to a minimum.

As the company grows, the IT infrastructure needs to become a core asset to facilitate rapid growth and effectively network locations and employees. Technology adoption should be part of the growth and productivity strategy, not a reaction to increased workload and complexity of operations.

Entrepreneurs need to evaluate whether their IT infrastructure is an asset or a liability. If it is not the former, fix it otherwise it may crimp your growth plans.

Communicate your Key Drivers

When I recently visited a medical device company, I was pleasantly surprised to see, in the conference room, framed posters depicting the company’s key drivers. It was very clear to ascertain the company’s focus on quality, people, financial commitment and so on. I am sure that the company has communicated to their employees these drivers and also displayed the posters in prominent work areas.


Do the Right Things!
