How a Conference Room Setup Helps Your Small Business ‘Lean Up’

In a recent Forbes article, Lean Up: Bootstrapping Startup Scaling And Success, Tipaiti CEO Chen Amit discusses what it takes to succeed as a startup in the business world. He writes about the necessity of staying lean as you scale. That means keeping your staff small, never taking on too much funding, and using technology to “automate and streamline the boring stuff.” On that last point, Tech Automation can help. In this blog, we’ll show you how a conference room setup can streamline day to day operations in your Oakland County, MI, startup. Ready to learn more? Keep reading.

Starting Small with Technology

Whether you're running a one-person business or a 500-person company, technology is a regular part of your workday. Connecting over the phone, viewing files on a computer, and even using your office lights are all ways in which technology works for you. So, simplifying the way you use different devices can help you get more out of your workday.

As one of the cornerstones of “leaning up,” Amit says you must “Invest in modern, scalable technology to automate and reduce our workflows.” That can mean everything from the way you process payments to the way you control the lights, view presentations, communicate remotely, and connect devices.

A strong network and centralized control will help you get the most out of your day-to-day technology, no matter the size of your business. As we've written previously, a centralized automation system can adjust all the technology in your meeting space, including projectors, overhead lights, and shades— with the touch of a button.

But you don't have to integrate all the technology at once. Start small with energy-saving lighting and climate control, then move up to AV control, and smart IT solutions. Once you've laid the groundwork, it's easy and affordable to scale as necessary.

Another critical component of starting a small business is working with partners you can trust. That means finding the people and companies that will be there for you for the long haul.
