| In my last two articles, I advocated for the establishment of a form of quality management system in any nascent business venture. Further, I outlined the various types of business structures that are possible to establish in Nigeria and their structures. In the article, it was emphasized that the structure must fit the vision and mission of the business venture to offer the intended services and product effectively, and thereafter grow to sustainable levels. Following my 37 years of experience in Geological and Environmental Data collection and interpretation for various businesses in different industries, I have come to understand the importance of having a sound system and structure. A business system is an organized way of carrying out business activities, through the interdependence of processes, each with a step-by-step procedure for achieving the ultimate goal of the process. I have seen companies with huge potential struggle because of the failure in their structure and systems design. The budding entrepreneur needs to establish a business venture that incorporates a system and structure from beginning to end, that can consistently drive predictable outcomes. |
