If your company is currently operating with ineffective, less than stellar, procedures—or no procedures at all—then you’ve seen the problems firsthand. Blockers, increased frustration among team members, and wasted time and money are all a result of poor planning. Having repeatable, scalable processes, on the other hand, boosts your bottom line. It decreases time spent fighting fires, encourages independence and autonomy on your team, saves time and mistakes, and ensures consistent results.

Once your team is working from a playbook, you’ll have more time to focus on fun, creative, and innovative activities that boost your profits. Say goodbye to putting out fires and hello to igniting productivity and growth.

Why You Need Business Playbooks 

Sports playbooks are known for being incredibly detailed. They outline everything, needed to remain in alignment and execute well.

Now think about all the tactics that go into keeping your company running smoothly. Each player on your team has their own priorities to execute. A marketing director will have a different set of duties from the communications director and from the CEO. But as a team, there are a lot of initiatives that require you to collaborate together as a group.

Keeping all of the moving parts in your business running smoothly is only possible if you have a plan in place. And if something goes wrong, what is the contingency plan? If the CEO has a family emergency, who steps up to lead in her absence?

Without a playbook, your team is left scrambling to move forward. This results in a lot of wasted time, wasted energy, and undue stress and anxiety.
