Processes in IT digital transformation and why teams need to see how they fit together
Most IT projects don’t stall because of the technology. They stall because nobody agrees on how the work actually gets done. The software gets delivered. The training happens. Then, a few months later, people quietly go back to the old way. Usually it comes down to processes, and more specifically, the gaps between them. Every […]
The One Thing Missing From Your Process Maps (And Why It’s Costing You)
Every workplace has that one person who knows how everything actually works. Call her Jane. Jane knows why the invoice template has that weird extra field.

💸 The Cost of Not Capturing Knowledge from Key People
Every organisation has people who carry knowledge that keeps the business running. It could be the senior manager who remembers why a process exists. It could be the technician who knows the workaround when systems fail. Or it could be the administrator who understands the unspoken rules that hold a team together. When that knowledge […]
