Streamlining SOPs for Business Challenge
Do you have SOPs for business operations in place?
The truth is that SOPs (standard operating procedures) can take a while to create and implement.
Even though they take a lot of effort, the lift is worth it because they will save you so much time in the future and improve the way everything in your business is done.
If you do have SOPs in place, they can often be a bit hodge-podge or mixed and matched. Different people create different SOPs at different times… and you can see how quickly things get out of whack!
That's why this challenge is all about streamlining a streamlined system.
Create an SOP Template Challenge
Creating an SOP Template will help make it easier to keep all future SOPs aligned and organized. It also makes it easier for your team to know what to look for and how to follow the steps laid out in the process.
Create a fill-in-the-blank template for your business's SOPs.
This template will be used to create future SOPs and can be retroactively applied to existing SOPs.
Your template should include:
A clear and specific title so everyone knows exactly what the SOP is for
A stated purpose for the SOP so everyone knows why and when the SOP is needed
The scope of the SOP so everyone knows what's included (and what's not!)
A tools needed section so everyone knows which apps, files, log-in info, or other details are necessary for completing the SOP
Defined roles and responsibilities so everyone knows who is in charge of what
The step-by-step instructions with numbered tasks and examples or screenshots so everyone knows the correct order to follow and the exact manner for completing each step
An FAQ section so everyone can easily answer common questions and understand how to troubleshoot issues
A review date or number with the name of who approved the SOP, so everyone knows how updated the SOP is and who to go to with questions or feedback
