Many leaders, founders and business owners understand the importance of systems but struggle to create a culture where systems are embraced, documented, and consistently followed. Without proper systems, businesses become overly dependent on key individuals and miss opportunities for growth and efficiency.

Gayle Lantz speaks with David Jenyns, founder of SYSTEMology and a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in franchising, digital marketing, and business strategy. David’s mission is to help business owners worldwide scale and streamline their operations by working on their businesses, not in them.

David shares practical insights about building a systems culture, overcoming resistance to change, and making systemization an integral part of organizational growth. He explains why traditional documentation approaches often fail and offers a fresh perspective on how to make systems stick.

This episode covers:

• What defines a true systems culture versus merely having documented processes
• How to overcome common resistance to systemization
• The concept of “minimum viable systems” and how to identify critical processes
• Why the strongest team members often have the weakest systems around them
• The essential role of a “systems champion” in driving successful implementation
• How to make systemization part of recruitment and career advancement
• Practical strategies for getting started with systemization at any organizational level
