For instance, if you know every customer is happy then you assume that all the individual jobs are fine without needing to know all the details. If you are meeting predetermined profitability and performance figures then you know the operations and sales levels are as forecasted. If staff morale is good then the culture is right. Having a management team as good and comprehensive as here at Redweb is fantastic. It means everything is covered and the team work together to ensure objectives and goals are met.

Must be difficult I'd want to know about everything but it's just not possible. I suppose having a strong management team is the key aspect there.

We had previously tried to ring fence senior roles and for a while had directors who weren't involved in the day to day workings. Other staff on paper had non production roles and responsibilities but always seemed to get dragged in again when it got busy. The difference now is the completeness and breadth of the management team. We have made a clear commitment and have 12 managers and 3 directors (including myself) in non production roles. All the best. Thanks for the comment and glad things are going well for you.

One thing that surprises me is that it's only at the size you are now that the management team aren't scheduled for client work. We're a fraction of your size but feel that we might need to move to that model soon to make sure that projects are run properly and to make sure we've got visibility on what's over the horizon.
