Automation Essentials for Small Businesses

Preface

As a small business owner, you do everything you can to put your company on the right track. You make smart hires, invest in training your team, and pick software that you won’t outgrow in two years.

But where are you on automation?

The US Council of Economic Advisors estimates that 83% of jobs paying less than $20 an hour could be automated in the near future. The McKinsey Global Institute predicts that 20% of all jobs could be automated in a similar time frame.

But aside from lost jobs, how does a small business owner prepare for such an onslaught? What kind of preparations will ensure that your business doesn’t suffer the same fate as so many other industries disrupted by automation? Can you embrace technology while also have a thriving workforce?

Automation is a present and increasing reality and, the sooner you can bring it into your company’s culture and foundation, the better prepared you will be for the future.

Automation at Your Fingertips

To prepare your company for the future, creating a culture of automation is essential. In order to compete in an automated age, you must continuously seek out where your organization’s time is wasted with mundane, manual tasks.

Assign those tasks to a system and let your teamwork on more important work that is critical to your business.

The next chapters in this ebook will guide you on how to take the very first step towards making automation part of your company’s culture.
