Why Their Solution Didn’t Work in Your Company
Summary
Recently, I explored contractor discussion boards to gauge the current market buzz. This reminded me of a critical issue often overlooked: the challenge of implementing an off-the-shelf solution effectively.The core issue is that what works perfectly for one company often falters in another due to a lack of robustness. These solutions are typically tailored to specific circumstances, which might not align with your company’s unique needs.
Understanding the Challenge
Think of your business as a complex jigsaw puzzle. To complete the picture, you need the right pieces, but they’re not the same pieces your friend’s company is missing. When they find their missing piece, everything clicks for them. Excitedly, they might suggest you adopt their strategy, promising similar success.
You try it, but nothing improves?"or worse, issues emerge. Why? Your business dynamics are vastly different. You have distinct skills, a different employee mix, and unique client expectations. Even if you’re both in construction, that’s often where the similarity ends.
Your business puzzle is uniquely yours, requiring customized solutions. This is why a solution that works for one company might fail for another. Differences in business practices, employee types, and customer bases necessitate tailored strategies.
Customizing Solutions
Years of experience in developing solutions for real construction companies have shown me that even the simplest solutions require customization. Consider two classic examples: sales commissions and employee bonuses.
Sales Commissions
I advocate for paying sales commissions based on gross profit. While it’s a straightforward solution, customization is crucial. Two vital questions need addressing:1. What is the appropriate commission rate?
2. What should count as a direct job cost?
These answers vary based on the company’s business model, competitive landscape, and target market, demonstrating the need for tailored approaches to achieve desired outcomes.
Employee Bonuses
Employee bonuses, a hot topic on discussion boards, illustrate this point further. While there’s much debate and limited agreement on the best approach, it’s clear that bonuses can effectively motivate employees to work hard, be productive, and maintain safety.Successful bonus plans require an understanding of employee motivations and behavior. By adhering to fundamental truths about people and fine-tuning the plan to your specific situation, effective bonus systems are achievable.
The Role of Consultants
No consultant holds magic solutions. Success lies in the skills and drive of clients who implement and sustain these solutions. Consultants guide you on the right path, but you make it work in your daily operations.
Key Takeaway
Never implement a solution without customizing it for your unique context. Off-the-shelf solutions might seem tempting, but without adaptation, they’re ineffective. Embrace the uniqueness of your company and tailor solutions to suit your specific needs.
