Ethics Matter

2012-01-29T00:36:00.000-08:00

I think we would all agree ethics matter. Franchisors want to know their franchisees will run an ethical and principled business, thus providing credibility at the local level and protecting brand equity. Can you really know a franchisee will uphold your standards and principles? Yes. There are numerous clues within Proven Match Emotional and Social Intelligence measures, including self-discipline and self-control that help companies see the 'true' character of an individual.

I found this article interesting regarding ethics and the correlation between one's personal life and professional life. Creating a culture that encourages doing the right thing.

Stages of Growth Predictive Model Helps Franchisor Expand Business

2011-12-20T08:07:00.000-08:00

"The ability to foresee consequences before you act is the mark of the profound person." - Ralph H. Blum
Since the 1920’s, economics and business management professors have been teaching about the Stages of Growth. This model of business growth is based on the fact that all businesses experience common problems that arise at similar stages of development. Familiarity with this concept allows business owners to attain valuable insights into their organization to ensure that their business will not only continue to survive, but to thrive as well.

What Makes Stages of Growth Important to Franchisors?
According to Rebecca Monet, President of Proven Match, “Understanding a franchise system's Stage of Growth is a critical element relative to a Franchisor’s expansion.”

A number of business and management theorists have alluded to these developmental stages – and they have been the subject of considerable research. Some early practitioners include proponents of the Organizational Life Cycle, (OLC), the Greiner Curve and other models based on the work of James F. Moore or Haire’s Modern Organizational Theory.

Regardless, by the 1970s and 1980s the model became an accepted reference as it pertained to overall organizational growth. But it wasn’t until Neil Churchill and Virginia Lewis’ 1983 article in Harvard Business Review that this concept garnered the attention of management consulting firms around the world including Arthur Andersen (now Accenture), Deloitte and McKinsey.

For Monet, a behavioral scientist, the Stages of Business Growth made great sense for franchising. Monet set out to research and write algorithms that would accurately predict a companies stage of growth and assess individuals most likely to embrace and adapt to each of these stages. These algorithms have since proven successful in its application to franchising.

Kitchen Solvers -- a national franchising company that specializes in kitchen remodeling -- is just one example. Like many of us, Gerry Henley, General Manager of Kitchen Solvers, has seen great change throughout his industry as well as within his company in the last decade.

Fast Company: Kitchen Solvers

Kitchen Solvers initially focused on providing cabinet re-facing services to La Crosse, Wisconsin homeowners. As demand for cabinet re-facing and remodeling grew, the company expanded their service area to include all of Western Wisconsin.
In 1984, the Baldners established the first franchise division of Kitchen Solvers in Janesville. Soon thereafter, Kitchen Solvers grew internationally in 1999 with the opening of its first Canadian franchise in Ottawa, Ontario. Today, Kitchen Solvers has established itself as an industry leader in both cabinet re-facing and new cabinetry.

Henley learned about the 5 predictable stages of growth all companies go through at a webinar hosted by Proven Match. He quickly recognized that some of the challenges his company was dealing with could be attributed to “growing pains.”

The 5 Stages of Growth in a Nutshell

Basically, all companies pass through a recognizable life cycle -- or sequence of developmental stages -- from existence through maturity. The number of life cycle stages has been the subject of considerable debate over the years. While some analysts have delineated as many as ten different stages, others have consolidated the model into as little as three stages.

Says Monet, “Most models -- including the classic Harvard Business Review Study – support the view of the organizational life cycle as a period comprised of five stages.”

At Proven Match, the 5 Stages of Growth are as follows:

Stage 1: Entrepeneurial
Stage 2: Partnership
Stage 3: Systematic
Stage 4: Bureaucracy
Stage 5: Intrapenuerial

According to Monet, “Within each stage of growth, a franchisee’s motives and skill sets need to complement a franchisor’s strategic plans and market expansion strategies.” In other words, says Monet, “the Franchisor’s Stage of Growth and the Franchisee’s Stage of Life need to be aligned.”

The Moral to the Story

Fast-growing companies can often be chaotic and demanding. According to Henley, Kitchen Solvers – with its rapid expansion was certainly no exception. “As market share increased exponentially, our systems and needed to change to accommodate and support our growing number of franchisees.”

Proven Match helped Gerry at Kitchen Solvers to identify what Stage of Growth they were in, and perhaps more importantly, better determine what the franchisee needed to succeed within that Stage of Growth. This allowed him to tackle the complex problem associated with systemizing the company.

A Useful Metaphor

Mason Haire’s 1959 work Modern Organizational Theory is generally recognized as one of the first studies that used a biological model to illustrate business growth from a developmental standpoint. Essentially, it serves as a useful metaphor in terms of developing the framework outlining the 5 key stages of small business growth.

“Child development specialists will tell you that a child who skips crawling will face developmental challenges – and the same holds true of a company that forces growth or systemic changes before it’s ready,” says Monet.

Additionally, to sustain and grow a franchise system, there must be a clearly defined and interdependent relationship between the Franchisor and Franchisee. By analyzing the issues and growth patterns of small business, companies are able to take a step back and better assess the needs of the franchisee. Monet cites “The Greiner Curve” as it proves helpful in thinking about the common misconceptions that organizations face as they grow. “Systems and procedures must adapt to support an evolving business model, the needs of your franchisee as well as satisfy end-user demand.

Says Henley, “By understanding Stages of Growth, you can quickly grasp the root cause of the problems you are likely to experience in a fast-growing business. Furthermore, you can troubleshoot problems before they occur, so you can meet them head on.

Proven Match Stages of Growth algorithms are based on empirical research and allows companies to better prepare for the next growth transition, as well as ensure everyone is operating in tandem.

“The fundamental questions are centered on whether the franchisee’s life stage matches the franchisor’s stage of growth,” says Monet. “Are we compatible? If so, are we all on the same page? Sometimes it’s a case of diagnosing problems and matching solutions. In other instances, it’s a case of outgrowing a franchisee that is not able to adapt or keep up.”

Monet presents a compelling case for the business model. “The Stages of Growth helps franchisors to determine their stage of development to ensure a prosperous future.”

Crisis to Expect at Each Stage:

STAGE 1:

Limited resources and under staffed
Support and training short
Dynamic systems causing chaos and errors
Overly liberal franchise agreements

STAGE 2:

Franchisee resistance to change
Reporting and royalty problems
Franchisee validation issues
Increased competition

STAGE 3:

Franchisee retention problems
Franchisee validation issues
Increased litigation
Increased costs due to franchisee demands

STAGE 4:

Poor shareholder value and franchisor profitability
Poor internal and franchisee-franchisor communications
Disconnect from end-user
Franchisee's loss of hunter instinct

STAGE 5:

Many systemic changes
Increased marketing and support costs
Compliance and regulation issues
Lack of agility and speed to market

The Foundation of Leadership

2011-12-09T23:56:00.000-08:00

The most important quality of leadership, the one quality for which you want to be known, is extraordinary performance, with the goal of achieving extraordinary results. These results then serve as an inspiration to others to perform at equally exceptional levels. People ascribe leadership to those men and women who they feel can most enable them to achieve important goals or objectives.

Accept Complete Responsibility

When you take complete responsibility and accept ownership, without making excuses or blaming others, you experience a sense of control that leads to the personal power that is the foundation of charisma. When you look like a winner in every respect, when you have the kind of external image that others admire, you build your charisma. When you develop your character by setting high standards and then disciplining yourself to live consistent with
the highest principles you know, you become the kind of person who is admired and respected everywhere. You become the kind of person who radiates charisma to others.

What Have You Done For Me Lately?

2011-11-29T14:47:00.000-08:00

According to the Franchise Performance Group, franchisors who grew the most in the past year attributed it to strong unit level economics and trusting relationships with franchisees. Recruitment Takeways.

Science has shown that whether a marriage, partnership or franchisee-franchisor relationship, relationships having shared values provides for a satisfying, sustainable and profitable relationship. That is why it is critical that franchisors determine what type of franchisee they are looking for and stay focused on attracting candidates who are compatible to ensure they fit well within their system.

Regardless, over the course of any relationship, perceived slights or misunderstandings arise that may breed mistrust and resentment. Often times as the franchise system evolves, the franchisee becomes less and less grateful, and their initial gratitude is replaced by an attitude of entitlement. After providing all of the systems, support and processes to ensure the success of the franchisee – it is only natural for Zors to feel like they have been “taken for granted.” Especially when the Zee makes continuous demands, in a time of economic scarcity.

It is no secret that assessment tools in the Proven Match system allow franchisors to quickly identify candidates who are strong matches as well as those who are not a fit. Psychometric profiling tools can also help determine if there are any areas of weakness that the franchisor can bolster through training.

Regardless, when a franchisee encounters a problem with a system or a process, or needs an answer in order to proceed – Zors still feel an obligation to respond – and that can prove stressful for both parties. It is important to bear in mind that “giving support” may provide an opportunity to exchange information that will ultimately help to contribute to the success of the franchise system overall.

In this manner, we can have a deeper appreciation for the mutual challenges we face, as well as strengthen the bond the bond between the Zor and Zee.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. What are you thankful for? With an attitude of gratitude, anything is possible...

West Coast Franchise Expo

2011-11-12T22:46:00.000-08:00

Proven Match made the rounds at the Los Angeles Franchise Expo Nov. 4-6. The annual event sponsored by the International Franchise Association (IFA) offers individuals a means to explore franchise opportunities, as well as to engage in a dialogue with executives from leading franchise organizations. The event provides franchise brands the opportunity to showcase their products, services and business opportunity.

It was great to see our leaders,experts and sages - another warm thank to Scott Lehr, Steve Olson, Jerry Darnell, Marty Greenbaum, MaryAnn O'Connell, Rhonda Sanderson, Kim Ellis and numerous others who support our common goal of empowering franchisors and business owners alike.

Retention and RoyaltiesWhat did we notice? Companies being very picky in awarding franchises. It seems counter-intuitive since lead flow is down doesn't it? Yet, that's exactly what is happening. Smart franchise companies are focusing on the profitability and retention of their current franchisees; while carefully selecting franchisees with a greater likelihood of performance.

It's no longer about bodies and buildings today's mindset is one of sustainability and strategic growth. Companies recognize the success of a franchise system lies in strong validation, attracting and retaining top performers and long-term royalties – its all about compatibility and complementary competencies.

PS: thank you Debbie Shwetz and Jenna Barber for delicious pumpkin spice bundt cake ... we made 3 rounds!
