Business Structures
People
typically do a business structure with the Director on the top with different
departments under it such as marketing, management, sales, accounting, legal.
Meir’s structure is a
very LONG big chart of columns that is on a continuum – a cylindrical chart,
like a barrel. Steve Jobs got from E.
Hubbard the cylindrical chart of 7 areas and Apple took off.
Every
company needs 7 areas, even if the company is just one person. The area that is the lowest defines our
overall product. Shows what they need to produce and how to measure.
Everyone
pushes to same direction so the energy is output, not input = no fighting.
7
areas of the cylindrical chart:
1. Executive
2. Human Resource
3. Sales
4. Treasury
5. Technical
6. Qualitycontrol/correction
division (corrected organization and its people) income/# of people
7. New public
Success
definition: Achieving the postulated (self created truth) results or more of
the desirable results compared to an earlier time. You become the CAUSE of
changes, not the EFFECT.
An
individual who is not working in life to remedy or to make better the actual
conditions which he finds around him is not liable to succeed. And if you want
a good definition of success, it would just be that: a person who can look
around him and see what has to be done, what has to be remedied, what’s actual,
and then actually can do and does do something about it. And that person is
about eighty-four light-years above normal.
How
does one know if he has achieved more, less or the same of the things wanted?
By using MEASUREMENTS. Every area of
our life is measurable.
Without
measurement:
1. one cannot know who won
2. one cannot know if he
failed or succeeded,
3. one cannot know what
needs to be corrected
4. once cannot know if
change is needed
5. one does not know what
is right and what is wrong
6. you can not have
management even if one measures but doesn’t inspect, one cannot manage. It is
here that we have operating on opinions and rumors vs. operating on facts, or
you are guessing.
The
universe is divided in two:
1. those things that can be
measured and;
2. those things that cannot
be measured.
In
business, only one thing cannot be measured:
that which has not been done or produced.
A
person who resists measurements: 1. is
too unorganized and so has no time for anything and is already non productive,
or, 2. is producing nothing of value.
Why
do we need to measure our success? Without measurements we will make mistakes.
Balance sheets are for the government – to show how much taxes we need to pay.
They are not a true picture of success. Many businesses that measure with
profit and loss statements and balance sheets show profit, but the owner has
nothing in their account. Meir’s system
is a different way of measurements, formulas, specific steps to give an
accurate picture of how the business is doing, and how to improve production
and profit.
