In business, there are a few references to the cow path. It’s often depicted as the path most tread.
It can be comforting. Doing the same things the same way, every time. Taking the path someone else made for you.
Is it the best way? Maybe. Maybe not.
When I was in process improvement, I was working with someone on a project that was ultimately going to be a process improvement/process automation solution.
Ideally, you fix the process before automating it.
The sponsor of the project said “Don’t pave the crooked cow path”.
I absolutely love that visual.
As a business owner, you should be continually looking for ways to improve your processes and deliver exactly what the customer wants.
The information here at Crooked Cow Path will help you do that. Whether you’re a business of 1 or more.
Running a business takes more than just knowing (and improving) your processes. There’s also task management and project management and accountability. And there are obstacles, so many obstacles.
With time, and the info you find here, you can overcome those obstacles, manage your tasks (projects or otherwise) and keep yourself accountable.
