The CK Daily – Core Value: Building Processes
Happy Friday, folks! I will be continuing our series covering the Core Values of CablesAndKits. Our third core value is Build Process That Don’t Fail. Our definition is: We encourage and celebrate continuous improvement. We aim to build systems and processes that are well-developed, thoroughly tested, and sustainable to ensure that we keep our commitments.
I’ll share an example. We offer same-day shipping on in-stock orders. Creating a process and communicating this commitment with you, our customer, was a big step forward. Before publicly sharing it, we had invested time updating our system and process to ensure we would do it consistently. As time has passed, orders have become more complex and varied, forcing us to continually innovate this process to ensure that we keep our same-day commitment.
Building processes that don’t fail doesn’t mean we are perfect; it means we are continuously striving to improve! While we try to anticipate how a process will handle multiple scenarios, we can only see around some corners. We’re looking for a commitment to refine the process when we find that the process needs to be updated. It’s a mindset of continuous improvement.
Here is a Forbes article providing feedback on improving processes.
Have a great weekend!
