Bradley Hamner Creator & Founder of BlueprintOS, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast

By: Authority Press Wire

Bradley Hamner discusses building a winning playbook

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: Interview with Bradley Hamner Creator & Founder of BlueprintOS – Business Innovators Radio Network

Bradley Hamner, the creator and founder of BlueprintOS, the significance of a well-defined operating system with clear playbooks for achieving business success was underscored. Here are key takeaways from the episode that emphasize the importance of this concept:

  1. Clarity and Structure: Bradley stressed the necessity of a clear operating system that incorporates playbooks, which serve as a collection of systems and processes. A structured approach fosters clarity in operations and ensures that all members of the organization comprehend the processes involved.
  2. Efficiency and Consistency: Playbooks establish a framework for consistent operations within a business. By documenting well-defined processes in playbooks, businesses can guarantee efficiency in their operations and uphold consistency in delivering products or services.
  3. Continuous Improvement: Bradley highlighted the significance of ongoing improvement and iteration of playbooks. Just as he mentioned tweaking the onboarding process for new members, businesses should consistently review and update their playbooks to enhance efficiency and address any arising issues.
  4. Adaptability and Growth: A well-defined operating system with clear playbooks enables businesses to adapt to changes and scale effectively. Through documented processes, businesses can easily onboard new team members, uphold quality standards, and facilitate growth without compromising efficiency.
  5. Ownership and Accountability: Playbooks instill a sense of ownership and accountability within the organization. When processes are clearly defined, team members understand their roles and responsibilities, leading to increased accountability and improved performance.

Bradley explained: “With a structured operating system in place, business owners and leaders can make strategic decisions based on data and insights from documented processes. This enables informed decision-making and aids in propelling the business towards its objectives”

In conclusion, Bradley Hamner underscores the critical nature of having a well-defined operating system with clear playbooks for achieving business success. It provides structure, efficiency, and consistency, encourages continuous improvement, enables adaptability and growth, enhances ownership and accountability, and facilitates strategic decision-making. Businesses that prioritize the development and upkeep of their operating system and playbooks are better positioned to attain long-term success and sustainability.

About Bradley Hamner

Bradley is a Business Growth Coach. certified Value Builder, creator of The Rainmaker to Architect Assessment, and host of the Above The Business Podcast. Each week, he shows other entrepreneurs & business owners how to install the systems, processes, and routines their business needs to grow and scale. The ultimate outcome? Business owners have a successful business that creates the freedom and flexibility they desire from the start.

Bradley started his first business in 2009 with no customers, no leads, and very little cash but he did have a desire to win and succeed. After being successful early in his career in sales, Bradley believed that his ability to be the Rainmaker for the business would be enough to grow and scale. That, however, proved not to be the case.

From 2009 – 2014 after seemingly working around the clock. With young children at home, endless rescheduled appointments and tee-offs, and hitting an invisible barrier to personal and business growth, Bradley knew something had to change.

After a stress-related health scare at the age of 34, this change finally happened. Bradley began to build himself first as a leader, and then he focused on restructuring his business. He learned how to “architect” the business to work for him, not the other way around. This led him to design the ultimate operating system for business owners – BlueprintOS. This framework has empowered business owners to move successfully from rainmaker to architect in their business.
