Are you letting the perfect be the enemy of the good?

You probably know you can’t be perfect. You probably know your staff can’t be perfect either.

What about your software systems?

The question is not whether your systems can be perfect. They never will be.

The question is: Are your systems helping you meet your goals? You do have goals, right? Clear, measurable, attainable goals?

If you have specific goals, think about how your systems can help you meet them. That’s the only question that matters.

(If you don’t have them, that’s a separate conversation.)
