SJK Investment Joint Stock Company specializes in manufacturing and supplying construction accessories, construction equipment, materials for civil and industrial construction, and auxiliary M&E materials. With a strategy to become a leading company in wholesale and retail distribution of construction materials, equipment, and supplies, SJK sets quality, progress, and customer satisfaction as the foundation for its development.
In the company’s development roadmap for the time ahead, Mr. Nguyễn Anh Quốc – CEO of SJK – wants to help the team gain an effective method for executing goals, encouraging the team to conquer bigger business goals and, more importantly, expand its ecosystem.
1. The CEO wants to empower the team, but the team faces difficulties without a tool for alignment and goal ownership
SJK has strong resources with a team that is enthusiastic and proactive at work. At the present time, Mr. Quốc wants software that can concentrate the strength of the entire team and make use of existing resources to conquer upcoming goals. Below are some of his expectations:
- A standardized operating model that helps the business run smoothly and expand its ecosystem.
- A method for empowering the team so leadership has time to focus on what matters.
- A tool that helps align the team and helps departments coordinate scientifically to conquer goals together.
- A method for solving problems thoroughly with scientific thinking.
2. SJK focuses team strength and executes goals based on Simplamo
After spending time learning about the solution, Mr. Nguyễn Anh Quốc realized that Simplamo fully met his expectations. Mr. Quốc decided to implement Simplamo on 18.09.2023.
Simplamo’s team of experts supported SJK in strengthening its operating model, concentrating energy, and aligning the team to conquer goals through the following activities:
- First, clearly making transparent who is responsible for what through building an accountability chart on Simplamo. While a traditional organizational chart only clearly shows functions and the people in charge, the accountability chart on Simplamo clearly presents the five roles for each position, emphasizing each member’s responsibilities to maximize capability. This is also the basis for everyone to coordinate work clearly and transparently, creating smoothness in the process of executing goals.
- Building a Scorecard to help SJK’s leadership stay close to the company’s business operations. The Scorecard is built with 5–15 core metrics, measured weekly with clear owners.
- Concentrating the team’s strength to execute common goals through the work of building quarterly priority goals. Goals on Simplamo are built from the organization’s vision and broken down into smaller goals. This process creates alignment among departmental goals because they all originate from the vision, and creates smooth linkage between each individual’s goals and their department head’s goals.
- Organizing the 7-step weekly meeting with a scientific meeting framework, helping the team pursue goals by measuring core metrics and reviewing goals regularly, together with a 3-step problem-solving framework. Meetings on Simplamo help SJK’s departments and units gain an overview; everyone can see the goals that other departments are working on, which becomes the basis for people to coordinate work together.
The meeting framework on Simplamo includes:
- Share good news – 5 minutes
- Review weekly metrics – 5 minutes
- Review goals – 5 minutes
- Feedback – 5 minutes
- Action list – 5 minutes
- Issues to solve – 60 minutes
- Conclusion – 5 minutes
Mr. Anh Quốc shared: “The mindset of meetings on Simplamo is very useful. It helps me truly focus on the meeting, and gives me space to look back at the team and the business as a whole. Through the problem-solving section on Simplamo, issues are solved thoroughly, both root issues and sub-issues. When meetings are held continuously like that, each day a few issues are solved, and the difficulties gradually disappear.”
Applying Simplamo in the business operation process helps SJK create changes in working culture and create a way for the team to track and execute goals, thereby helping the CEO empower successfully. The Simplamo team will continue accompanying SJK in the time ahead.
We hope that choosing Simplamo to build a standardized management model will help SJK promote execution in a structured way, put everything into a scientific process, and thereby bring out the strength of the entire team.
