Friday Focus: Attention to Detail

Detail is the ability to do things in a careful, decisive and thorough manner. In business, as well as life, being attentive and methodical with your process key to lasting success.

Attention to detail is important for a company raising capital, during manufacturing, marketing, sales, communication and more. One small overlook can result in significant consequences or missed opportunities. Moreover, as a business, the brand, product or services are heavily scrutinized by the customers, potential investors and competition, any chinks in the armor will be recognized and in some instances even exploited.

Any gaps in your processes need to be filled and the only way to notice them is by having a sharp focus. The best businesses, athletes, and performers have immense attention to detail while working on their craft, to be the best, all the small things need to be buttoned up and streamlined.

The principal way to make this work is through constant analysis and revision. All experts scrutinize their outcomes by studying processes and putting them to the test. A good example would be a star athlete, they study hours of film, analyze their every move and process, to constantly refine and adapt. Likewise, it should be the same for you and your company. It’s one thing to get to the top, it’s another to remain there, mastering the small details are the keys to a sustained success.
