Efficient Strategies
There are a myriad of ways to be efficient, or so we think, but when you get right down to it, without a strategy - "what do you want to do, when do you want to do it, how do you want to do it and how the heck do you prove that you're doing it ? " Well then, it probably isn't efficient; it's just plain work.
Do you have the time to work all the time ? (repetitive but on-point)
When you use strategies to improve your work, you'll know when you're being efficient. You'll strive to be because a good day's work really does feel good. If we all could work to our optimum abilities, life just might become fun. This goes double for small businesses and non-profits. These kind of organizations are known for eating up time, for flaying their owners and employees from the moment the clock starts in the morning until late at night when it's still ticking in people's heads. They aren't known to be more efficient than other work places, they just work harder.
On our website Resources page, www.thornburycomm.com there is an article by Leanne McConnachie. She did her Master's thesis by designing a framework for non-profits to assess their outcomes and hence, their efficiency. If you don't think this will work for your business, look again.
Why else would we put it there ?
