Luke Davies

★★★★★

“When we worked, every opportunity and every problem could be solved with a system . And we look at our business, our service, and how we want the outcome to be now with a systems approach. I couldn't have dreamed that that would have happened; I wouldn't have believed you, actually, if you had said that was the case.”

Renee Kelly
Director, Lime Therapy Mildura

About James

Certified Master SYSTEMologist®

James is passionate about helping business owners stop working in the day-to-day of their businesses so that they can regain freedom and choice in their lives, especially those in building and construction trades and allied health.

He fell into running a family business when he was in his mid-20s. Through perseverance and bloody-mindedness, James managed to systemise himself out of the business, to the point where it didn’t ‘need him’ anymore.

It’s one of his proudest achievements, but he went about it completely the wrong way, and made countless mistakes. Having no real method to follow made the journey cost a lot more than it should have, both in cash and also in opportunity cost. It was slower and far more stressful than it needed to be.

When James started consulting small businesses in 2018, he aimed to help modernise his clients' businesses but felt handicapped without a systemisation strategy, seeing many owners trapped without a way out.

Then he stumbled across an approach called SYSTEMology in 2020. That was the solution to simplifying all the things he had learned the hard way. The best part, however, is that the SYSTEMology approach is centred around leveraging team members within the business, rather than putting even more work on the business owner’s shoulders.

James and his team train their client’s businesses in the skills and habits they need to get all the important information out of people’s heads, document it, and put it at people’s fingertips.

David Jenyns can testify that “James has worked with hundreds of companies, rolling out SYSTEMology, and working very closely with Systems Champions.”

The end result is a business that becomes dependent on systems, rather than on the owner and key team members. This leads to a culture where people learn to blame the system, not the person.

If you're like most business owners, this probably sounds familiar...

You love the idea of systemizing your business but don’t know where to start and how to turn that into an actionable plan.

You’ve tried to build business systems before but your team doesn’t follow them, so you’ve given up on the idea.

Your business has a few systems but they’re scattered all over the place, and you’re using all kinds of tools making it hard to train new staff.

You struggle to stay on top of the seemingly endless list of tasks you need to handle, and you’re not enjoying running your business.

How James works

Seven stages of business systemization.

Within as little as three months, a certified SYSTEMologist can document the mission-critical systems within your business. This immediately improves your team’s efficiency, increases the value of your business, and frees the business owner from day-to-day operations.

The seven stages of SYSTEMology: Define, Assign, Extract, Organise, Integrate, Scale, Optimise

All of my clients also get access to ongoing support, training, and dozens of ready-to-use systems templates.

What that gets you

Improve Team Efficiency

Stop showing and correcting your staff on how to complete tasks. Document your smart operating procedures (SOPs) once, have your team follow them, and skyrocket your time efficiency and profitability.

Increase Business Value

Well-documented processes and procedures detailing your business’s “way” are the most important assets within your business—just look at McDonald’s, Subway, and Starbucks. It’s time to start building those assets!

Free The Business Owner

Building a business on the foundation of well-documented systems makes it consistent, profitable, and scalable. Best of all, it allows day-to-day operations to run without you, giving you ultimate freedom.

Common questions

+How long does it take to systemize a business?

As you can imagine, this question is a difficult one to answer. All businesses are different—from the level of products and services offered to the size of the organization. That said, typically, a business can see the positive impacts from the systemization of its operations within as little as 90 days.

+Who should be involved in systemizing?

While it’s important for the business owner to begin the process, it is really the team that will carry this process through to completion. The SYSTEMology process was actually designed for your team. Accordingly, we recommend that businesses have a minimum of three staff members and get them all involved. This could include full-timers, part-timers, and/or contractors. For larger teams, include your leadership team and department heads to drive this forward.

+Will SYSTEMology work within my industry?

The short answer is yes. SYSTEMology is industry-agnostic. The fact is, all great businesses are built on a foundation of great systems. Business systems are the building blocks of all businesses. We have literally worked with hundreds of companies directly and thousands indirectly. From accountants to bookkeepers, engineers, trades, immigration companies, roofing companies, solar companies, and doggy daycare businesses—if you can think of an industry, there’s a good chance we’ve worked in it.

+I already have systems in my business. What can SYSTEMology do for me?

Great to hear you’ve already made a start with your business systems! As you know, there’s more to building a systemized business than just documenting a few processes. There’s a good chance you haven’t quite achieved your true potential yet. The SYSTEMology process can help you fill the gaps and ensure you have everything in place to finally achieve Complete Business Reliability.

+I’m not 100% sure if SYSTEMology is right for me. How can I learn more?

The best way to learn more is to book a call. I’ll walk you through the SYSTEMology process, answer any questions you might have, and provide actionable steps to point you in the right direction.
