Your First Week in the Dealership Agility Method Community
Welcome. You are in the right place.
Here is your first week. One thing per day, thirty to ninety minutes each. By Sunday you will know exactly where your store is leaking gross, and you will have a thirty day pilot to fix the biggest leak.
DAY 1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF Before anything else, say hello. In the Introductions channel, post your name, your store or rooftops, your role, and the one thing driving you crazy at work right now. Two minutes. Do it first. Members who post on day one stay. Members who do not almost always disappear quietly.
DAY 2. COURSE 2. THE FLOW FRACTURE DIAGNOSTIC Ten lessons. About fifty six minutes. This goes deeper on the fractures you just scored. You will leave with a clearer picture of which one is costing your store the most this month.
DAY 3. RUN THE FLOW FRACTURE SNAPSHOT The Snapshot is the fifteen minute diagnostic that scores your store across the twelve Flow Fractures. Recon Fog, Dispatch Bottleneck, BDC Black Hole, Promise Debt, and eight others. Download it in the Start Here classroom, run it honestly, and write down your top three.
DAY 4. COURSE 2. THE HIDDEN PROFIT LEAK Eight lessons. About eighty two minutes. The Harbor Auto story, and how the team found seven hundred twenty thousand dollars in annual hidden losses. By the end you will know how to calculate your own number.
DAY 5. CAPTURE YOUR THREE NUMBERS Inside the Snapshot, three numbers matter more than all the rest. Your recon days to lot, your service RO cycle time, and your BDC response time. Pull them out today. These are the numbers we will come back to every time you ask a question inside the community.
DAY 6. COURSE 3. AGILE FOR DEALERSHIPS Ten lessons. About seventy eight minutes. The operating system. Kanban boards, daily standups, sprint cycles, work in progress limits. The exact tools that fixed Harbor Auto, translated for a car business, not a software sprint room.
DAY 7. COURSE 4. LEADERS GO FIRST, THEN POST YOUR PILOT Seven lessons. About fifty two minutes. Nothing changes unless leadership changes first. Michael Torres learned that the hard way at Harbor Auto, so you do not have to.
Then the most important post of your first week. In the community, share this:
My store: My dominant Flow Fracture: My three numbers. Recon days ___. RO cycle ___. BDC response ___. The thirty day pilot I am committing to:
That is it. You have your baseline. You have named your dominant fracture. You have a pilot on the calendar, and you have met the people working on the same problems you are.
The real learning starts now. See you inside.
