Although automation/RPA is a must-have for companies with 200+ employees, with four companies under my belt, I realized that owners should set up processes asap1. And automate at least trivial and everyday tasks.
A good analogy is to compare a company to a tree. If you initially set up processes incorrectly, your company will grow chaotically. Such a company cannot grow big. Even with favorable external factors, the company will sooner or later break under its weight of internal inefficiency ↩︎
