Building DOP Systems

Welcome back to the ProfitSchool podcast Business Unfiltered with Mercer and Jeff Sauer today's topic is Building DOP Systems.

• DOP Framework: Jeff and Mercer explain their system framework - Define (strategy), Organize (tactics), and People (management) - as essential components for effective business systems.

• System Evolution: They share how systems should remain at 90% completion, allowing room for continuous improvement through feedback and adaptation.

• Team Integration: Rather than relying on dedicated project managers, effective systems become embedded within the entire team's workflow.

• Self-Correction: Good systems include built-in mechanisms for identifying and correcting issues, with team members naturally enforcing proper usage.

• Practical Application: They describe how they reorganized their Offers system based on time rather than Products, demonstrating how systems can evolve to serve their purpose better.

• Growth Process: Systems should start simple and grow naturally, avoiding the common mistake of creating overly complex processes that hinder rather than help.
