Getting Improvements Done!

12Faces is all about showing you how to improve your business as quickly as possible.  Two powerful techniques you can use over and over again to get stuff done are;

  1. Use short (say weekly) Sprints and longer 90 Day GamePlans to improve and move forward.  We offer prefab GamePlans to rectify common issues
  2. Rather than you personally having to repeat some task over and over again, you want to move it to a Routine so staff can do it.  See more on Routines and our prefab Routine library.

How the Scoring Works

For the curious, here is a little on how this scoring system works behind the scene.

  • you rank each topic by how concerned you are about it
  • we multiply each by the impact it has on your business success
  • we factor in how quickly you can make changes in each area
  • the resulting Score displayed takes your level of concern and factors in impact and speed to improve.  
  • you pick the highest Score and start a Sprint or 90 Day GamePlan to improve it.

This technique is known as Weighted Scores and allows you to factor in any decision-influencing variables you want (e.g. cost, speed, complexity, difficulty)
