What’s the Difference Between Working IN & Working ON Your Business?
Many entrepreneurs tend to work more in rather than on their company. Too much of their time is taken up by day-to-day responsibilities that should be delegated to someone else. As a result, they are left with limited time for sustainable business development, and without these much-needed top-level activities, the business is more likely to fail in its growth phases. Successful Enterneering® (=Enterprise Engineering) is all about working on the business.
We explain what is behind it and how you can avoid falling into this trap in working on your business.
To get a better impression about the difference between working IN & working ON your business see the table below for some examples of tasks that represent “working IN your business” and “working ON your business”.
Who actually runs your business while you do the work of others?
Do you still spend a lot of time working on concrete tasks, projects, customers, or contracts, we mean working ‘in’ the business? Or is your work predominantly ‘on’ the business, like on strategic partnerships, more complex structures, future corporate organisation and above all on the soft elements of people and culture?
How to Work ON Your Business Effectively?
Entrepreneurs who successfully implement this form of work on the company are practising active and not reactive enterprise engineering (=Enterneering®).
