Compounding

In a cohort model program, all of my student employees leave once a year. 

As does all of their training and knowledge. 

Starting over each year is a Sisyphean task. We needed a way to grow each year, instead of resetting.

Find a way to compound each year.

For us, documentation, hiring processes, and training processes are ways we grow each year. That means we review them constantly and try something new if we aren’t getting the results we want. Just having a process won’t give you compounding, you have to invest time in evaluating and improving it.
