    Learn the Big Mac lessons on how to scale efficiently and effectively

    When we think about businesses that scale effectively, it is worth taking a look at one of the most scalable business of all time: McDonald’s.


    For it doesn’t matter what sector of industry you are in or whether you like them or not, the global burger chain has consistently demonstrated an unparalleled ability to scale out effectively with around 40,000 stores in more than 120 countries.


    The driving force behind McDonald’s growth was Ray Croc, whose insights are still relevant as you consider how to grow your organisation effectively.


    "You must perfect every fundamental of your business if you expect it to perform well," he said.


    Repeat business

    A big part of the plan was this: "Our aim was to ensure repeat business based on the system’s reputation rather than on the quality of a single store or operator."


    These classic principles are at the core of any growth business that scales: efficient processes, a seamless end-to-end ecosystem, automation of manual tasks, data-driven decision-making leading to consistency of action.


    Microsoft Dynamics 365 can support you in that growth.


    As you begin on the journey of digital transformation to scale up your organisation, it is worth thinking about how you can scale up effectively by using cloud-based systems such as Dynamics.


    Minimum fuss, maximum efficiency

    Dynamics can scale from a staff of 10 to more than 10,000, enabling you to grow with minimum fuss and maximum efficiency.


    It can make sure that you track business processes and never have different departments using different systems and incompatible applications.


    You want your people to be able to capture information once, "pass the baton" of information and documents with automated dashboards and reports that give everyone access to the right data at the right time.


    Consistency and commonality in your systems enables staff to act swiftly and decisively, putting customers first and driving growth.


    Pivot quickly

    Having effective systems and processes is not a sign of a rigid company, but one that is able to pivot quickly, make brave decisions and move forward aggressively and thoughtfully.


    Croc said: "Take calculated risks. Act boldly and thoughtfully. Be an agile company."


    That agility comes from having a technology foundation, a platform such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, which scales to whatever size you aim to get to.


    Not all companies can be like McDonalds or even want to be. But building your fundamentals with an eye to scaling up has never been more vital.
