Don’t confuse being busy with being productive. It seems like the list of tasks we’re required to complete through the day is constantly added to, but rarely are any tasks removed. What in your day feels repetitive, tedious, or inefficient? The monday.com platform can address those things and become the core system from which you run your other systems. Think of all of the software programs your use, and then imagine that you could instead have just one platform that integrated information from those programs and presented it in an easily viewed, customizable, and live environment. Through automations and integrations you can remove the repetitive tasks. This simultaneously frees up potentially hours per worker per day, but also eliminates the risk of a typo or missed character that can lead to the headache of digging to find the error. Automations create a chain of automated actions that keep work moving forward. Dashboards can then slice and dice the information into a real-time picture of exactly how things are going.
Monday.com is designed to be the single source of truth for your entire company and workflow. That means all information, all tasks, and every conversation about those items is all in one place. No more searching through emails trying to find a certain answer, guessing which medium you used for a question, and no more writing emails spending the first sentence or two making it clear which project and which task you’re writing about. All documentation and communication is attached to the item and is visible with one click. Consider a personnel shift, or if the lead changes to another role, department, or focus. All communication is attached to the item in a monday board, but if all that information is buried in emails or IMs of someone who’s no longer on the project, or no longer in the office, what then? With monday.com you can approach email inbox zero for life—communicate about every task within the task. You can see the files, links, and who’s working on it in one place, and communicate there.
As ‘do more with less’ becomes less cliché and more a perpetual reality, companies are forced to look internally to evolve or they risk going extinct. Monday.com can be implemented wall to wall in your company, allowing HR, marketing, finance, sales, and production to all work in the same program and communicate with clarity and efficiency. It allows everyone’s goals to be aligned, while allowing growth through trial and error with a lean, fast, and efficient execution necessary for the multiple iterations that will lead to growth. The tools in monday.com that seem ‘nice to have’ will become indispensable as workload increases and team sizes grow. There is a war for talent in most industries, and good talent wants to come to a company that is using up to date, competent, effective and efficient technology. With the clarity Monday.com brings from top to bottom, everyone can understand their role and how what they contribute aligns with the company strategy.
If a new product is too technical or too programming-heavy, people will tend to turn away. The ease of setting up your own automations and integrations means you don’t have to be a developer to mold monday.com into working exactly how you need it to. Monday’s low code/no code interface enables fast adoption, and the visual programming with pre-built automation and integration recipes means you need only find the phrase that matches what you’re looking for, not code it. In monday.com the hard, technical programming happens seamlessly and automatically in the background, allowing you to stay focused on the task at hand.
Sometimes there is fear around a change like implementing monday.com. “Am I going to have a job,” or “is this going to transform into something I don’t understand.” With monday you can highlight the overall strategy of the company and the direction you are moving, and people can understand the goals and necessary shifts. With the overall priorities known, department heads can have less siloed initiatives and instead make a global plan informed by data from all facets of the organization. The visibility of data within monday’s platform leads to better alignment of goals.
Every company has a way of using monday.com that works for them, and a way that doesn’t. Sometimes you just need time to figure yours out, and the monday.com academy and knowledge base, available free online, thoroughly explains all of monday’s capabilities and features. If you want help, though, that’s where Ability Ops comes in. As a monday.com partner we can help guide your iterations. If you prefer, we can roll up our sleeves and dive right in next to you, helping build your boards, add automations, build custom integrations, and more.
