<\/a>These shows highlight the value that can be achieved by relying on the experts, who themselves rely on their experience to uncover\u00a0those hidden issues. But in the end the results are always spectacular, and the home is more functional and shows better with modern upgrades.<\/p>\nA lot of us live in outdated,\u00a0poorly designed homes, just as a lot of us work with content that\u00a0shares similar\u00a0traits.<\/p>\n
Many of us have likely taken the\u00a0plunge into at least one\u00a0home fixer-upper\u00a0project. But how many of us have tried to\u00a0rewrite\u00a0a 10,000 page policy and procedure manual? We’re guessing not that many. But the considerations, risks and advantages are very similar in both projects. For example,<\/p>\n
- \n
- Should you hire experts or do it yourself? Or a combination of both?<\/li>\n
- How are you going to maintain operations during the project (i.e. if you\u2019re renovating the kitchen, where are you going to eat? Or, if you\u2019re rewriting the call centre manual, who will manage escalations when SMEs are in project meetings?)<\/li>\n
- How will you decide on design and style?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
