What is Infrastructure?

  • The parts of your company that create, deliver, and support your product.
  • The product is king, and infrastructure is its kingdom.
  • It impacts your company’s efficiency, profits, and work-life balance.

Thinking Like a Buyer

  • Look at your company the way a potential buyer would.
  • Every flaw in the company impacts valuation.
  • Poor infrastructure will either scare them off or significantly lower your valuation.
  • Buyers can pay you a fraction, fix the issues they see, and reap the benefits.
  • It’s your job to optimize your company.

Fixing Your Infrastructure

  • Most infrastructure issues stem from a lack of planning.
  • A thriving company requires a combination of optimized plans and resources.

Make a Plan

  • Plans will not be perfect, so you have to adapt.
  • Don’t get discouraged!
  • Learn from the mistakes of each plan, and move forward every time.

Break it Down

  • Analyze your company from the top down.
  • Break your company down into units.
  • Focus on the objectives of each unit, rather than individuals within it.
  • What steps will lead you to your objective? Are those steps efficient?

You Have Help

  • Ask your team how the system can be improved.
  • Be an active listener.
  • No one knows the system better than those inside it.

Start Small

  • Significant changes begin with small steps.
  • The solution isn’t a one-and-done.
  • If you can solve small problems first, you’ll be more confident when more complex ones arise.
  • Top-down analysis works with any size problem.

Weakest Link

  • Your company will only work as well as its least-efficient piece.
  • Focus first on the high-impact issues, then go from there.
  • Start improving your business today, step by step.
