What can you do when your enterprise is at a standstill? With no-code, you can quickly overcome stagnation and get back to business.
Enterprises are like sharks—they need to keep moving to survive! It might not be realistic to imagine your organization endlessly driving new projects at 110%, but you have to innovate on a regular basis and adjust your processes to stay sharp. If you don’t, your business will go stagnant and insufficient growth and development will result in missed opportunities, financial losses, and more.
Don’t worry! It’s possible for your enterprise to stave stagnation, especially if you have the right tools. Here’s how no-code can help you get back into the zone and stay ahead of the competition.
Is your business stagnant?
When an economy is in a prolonged period of little or no growth—defined as economic growth of less than 2% annually—it becomes stagnant. In addition to general low performance, economic stagnation is also characterized by periods of high unemployment or underemployment, no wage increases, and no stock market booms. Sometimes stagnation is temporary, as is the case during a short growth recession, but it can also stick around long-term.
Like the global economy, businesses can go stagnant as well. Of course, industries fluctuate and some quarters are better than others. But if you’re experiencing a prolonged period of little to no growth, it may be cause for concern. Here are four signs that your business is about to go stagnant:
1. You’re running on outdated manual processes.
Outdated processes are a classic sign of business stagnation. Manual workflows are inefficient, time-consuming, and often one step behind modern business processes. By forcing administrators to move between disparate tools and communication channels, manual processes are difficult to use and far more prone to human error. This makes it hard for manual workflows to align with how organizations work today.
Manual workflows are inefficient, time-consuming, and often one step behind modern business processes.
2. Your employees are dissatisfied, and you’re suffering from rapid turnover.
Since the pandemic began, more employees have been struggling with burnout than ever before. Unfortunately, the enterprise tech industry is one of the worst offenders. Developers are overworked, understimulated, and spend the majority of their time working on mundane tasks that don’t put their skills to good use. Also, at a 13.2% turnover rate according to LinkedIn, enterprise tech has the highest turnover rate of all business sectors. If that disengagement spreads and you don’t boost engagement throughout your organization, you’ll lose the employees who could’ve helped you stay ahead of the competition.
3. You seem to be out of fresh ideas.
Take a moment to think about the last time your company released something ground-breaking or had a thrilling project in your pipeline. If your team can’t effectively innovate and build things that will help push your business forward, they can’t get excited about your company’s future. Initiatives that don’t relate to your company’s core values and missions can also lead to stagnation.
4. Your enterprise is dependent on code.
When your organization is overly reliant on code, it’s easy to use the same tools to solve the same problems instead of finding new and better ways to streamline operations. Plus, working with code forces your team to spend all their time debugging and dealing with legacy code, which further adds to your project backlog. All this time and effort takes away opportunities for innovation.
Going stagnant sounds scary, but there’s always time to course-correct and breathe new life into your business. All you need is the right technology: no-code!
Get back to business with no-code software
If your enterprise is stuck in the doldrums, switching to no-code is just what you need to get moving again. Building applications with code is time-consuming, complicated, and often frustrating for your talented teams. Plus, the legacy maintenance costs and technical debt you accrue with code prevent you from generating revenue. These factors (and more!) can bring your business to a standstill. Here’s how no-code gives your business the jumpstart it needs to stave off going stagnant:
