Where work gets stuck
Turn stuck work into a clear next step.
Start with an idea that needs a plan, knowledge that needs a home, or a task that needs a workflow.
The idea has no delivery plan.
Turn an idea into a program with clear activities, materials and responsibilities.
The instructions live with one person.
Put working knowledge into documents other people can find and use.
Follow-up relies on memory.
Give repeat tasks a defined workflow, with review points your team controls.
