WordPress Made SimpleTM
— Actionable strategies to take your
online business to the next level.
Whether you are trying to launch a new business venture or expand an existing one, one of the hardest things to do is translate those “good ideas” into actual operation. For some the issue is finding and testing the business model, for others it is choosing a marketing and sales approach, for still others the problem is determining if it is possible to add a desired set of features and functionality to their business web site. At Pleiades, our business and technical experts can guide you through this process and help you find the best solution for you and your business. Your ideas are protected with our Non-Compete and Non-Disclosure Agreements so you will always feel safe in open and candid discussions.

We will show you why you can’t gauge the success of your various initiatives unless you can measure the outcome. Your web site can be a powerful tool, not only to unlock potential marketing opportunities, but also to act as an integral aspect of your organizational intranet for internal or distance training and communication.
Our WordPress Consultancy tends to fall into four distinct areas that can be best described as the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle.
For over a decade our team members worked with the National Business Quality Foundation, which was charged with integrating Quality Management systems into small business processes. H. Sandra Chevalier-Batik is a Deming Certified Quality Management consultant. And has used the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle as a simple and effective approach for problem solving and managing change. Initiating or correcting an online initiative can cost a small business enterprise both time and money. It is imperative that a small business waste neither by engaging in false starts or committing resources to a flawed concept. By using quality assurance tools and processes like the plan, do check act cycle we can ensure that ideas are appropriately tested before committing to full implementation. The PDCA cycle is helpful process for new product development, market research, and we have found it to be particularly useful in developing online business enterprises
It begins with a Planning phase in which the problem is clearly identified and understood. Potential solutions are then generated and tested on a small scale in the “Do” phase, and the outcome of this testing is evaluated during the Check phase. “Do” and “Check” phases can be iterated as many times as is necessary before the full, polished solution is implemented in the “Act” phase. At its base the PDCA cycle we employ answers the three questions all small business should ask before committing resources to a project.
- How do I decide what to do and in what order?
- How do I do it?
- How will I know if what I did worked?
When to Use Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle
- As a model for continuous improvement.
- When starting a new improvement project.
- When developing a new or improved design of a process, product or service.
- When defining a repetitive work process.
- When planning data collection and analysis in order to verify and prioritize problems or root causes.
- When implementing any change.
