Key Person Risk and Their Involvement in Getting off the Tools
Address Key Person Risk for a Stronger, More Independent Business
If your business depends on you – or a handful of key people – to keep running smoothly, you’re facing a significant risk. Key person risk not only jeopardises daily operations but also impacts financial stability and growth. In this vlog, we’ll discuss how your active involvement in reducing this risk now can lead to greater freedom and improved business performance in the future.
Key Takeaways:
What Is Key Person Risk?: It’s the over-reliance on one person (often the business owner) who knows everything, does everything, and is irreplaceable.
The Risk vs. Reward Paradox: Investing time and effort now to address key person risk creates the freedom and scalability you want later.
Financial and Operational Impacts: Failure to mitigate key person risk can lead to higher replacement costs, loss of existing clients, and reduced capacity to attract new business.
Address Key Person Risk: Commit to building robust systems, processes, and training. Use tools like SOPs, dashboards, and team workshops to share knowledge and reduce dependency on individuals.
For us, managing key person risk means strengthening systems, documenting processes, and empowering our team with the tools and training they need to succeed independently.
