  • The New Skill No One Is Hiring For: System Thinking

    The New Skill No One Is Hiring For: System Thinking

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Companies are now hiring at a pace not seen in 20 years. New roles, new titles, new skills pour into job descriptions every quarter. We recruit for cloud skills, AI literacy, DevOps competency, data fluency and domain knowledge.

    But one of the most important assets for companies today is also one of the least likely to be found on a new hire plan.

    That skill is systems thinking.

    And its lack of existence is why even many very well-resourced, well-staffed organizations still watch execution, scale and sustainability recede into the distance.

    Shrewd Teams Still Can Have Dumb Outcomes

    The talent is there; lack of it is no longer the barrier to company growth. They arise from the interplay of humans, processes, tools, incentives and decisions.

    Projects become delayed not because some people suck, but:

    • Work bounces across teams
    • Dependencies are unclear
    • Decisions arrive late
    • Metrics optimize the wrong behavior
    • Work is seamless, but tools are not.

    Increasing the number of specialists does little to change that. It often adds complexity, in fact.

    The missing piece is being able to understand how the whole system is behaving, not just the performance of each individual part.

    What Systems Thinking Really Means

    Systems thinking, after all, isn’t about diagrams or theory. It’s a useful approach to thinking about how outcomes derive from structure.”

    A systems thinker asks:

    • Where does work get stuck?
    • What incentives shape behavior here?
    • Which decisions repeat unnecessarily?
    • What occurs downstream when this goes awry?
    • Are we fixing the causes or the symptoms?

    They don’t seek a single root cause. They seek out patterns, feedback loops and unintended consequences.

    “The larger the organization, it’s less important you’re very deep in any particular area,” he said.

    Why Companies Don’t Hire for It

    Think in systems is easier said than measured.

    It’s not something that pops out on the old résumé. It doesn’t map neatly to certifications.” And it doesn’t have ownership by any single function.”

    Recruitment systems are optimized for:

    • Technical depth
    • Functional specialization
    • Past role experience
    • Tool familiarity

    Yet systems thinking knows no silos. It challenges the status quo instead of upholding it. And that can feel uncomfortable.

    So organizations hire for what’s visible — and then cross their fingers that integration somehow comes later.

    It rarely does.

    The Price of No Systems Thinkers

    Whereas it lacks systems thinking, organizations try to make up for this in effort.

    People work longer hours.

    Meetings multiply.

    Documentation increases.

    Controls tighten.

    More tools are added.

    From the outside, it appears to be productivity. Inside, it feels exhausting.

    Invisible work grows. High performers burn out. Teams are locally optimising while the organisation is globally slowing down.

    Most “execution problems” are in fact system design problems — and without systems thinkers, they go unseen.

    Why Scaling Means Systems Thinking Matters More

    Small teams can get by without system thinking. Communication is informal. Context is shared. Decisions happen quickly.

    Scale changes everything.

    As organizations grow:

    • Dependencies increase
    • Decisions fragment
    • Feedback loops slow down
    • Errors propagate faster

    At this point, injecting talent without reimagining the system only intensifies dysfunction.

    It is imperative that systems thinking becomes the norm with leaders, as it enables:

    • Design for flow, not control
    • Reduce coordination overhead
    • Align incentives with outcomes
    • Enable autonomy without chaos

    It changes growth from a weakness to an advantage.”

    Systems Thinking vs. Hero Leadership

    Heroics are the way many organizations keep systems running.

    Some experienced individuals “just know how things work.” They connect chasms, mediate conflicts and cover over broken systems.

    This does the trick — until it doesn’t.

    Instead of relying on heroes, it shifts towards a way of thinking that assumes everyone can be heroic by design. It doesn’t ask people to compensate for failings, it repairs the structure that produces them.

    That’s how organizations become robust and  not fragile.

    What Systems Thinking Looks Like in Practice

    You can tell who the systems thinkers are.

    They:

    • Ask fewer “who failed?” questions and more “why did this happen?
    • Semi-automation instead of further control requirements
    • Reduce handoffs before adding automation
    • Design decision rights explicitly
    • Focus on flow, not utilization

    They make institutions more tranquil, not more crowded.

    And counterintuitively, they enable teams to go faster by doing less.

    Why This Skill Will Define the Next Decade

    At a time when more companies are thinking about how AI, automation and digital platforms are transforming work, technical skills will be increasingly within arm’s reach.

    What will distinguish companies is not what they make or sell — but how adept their systems are at change.

    Systems thinking enables:

    • Scalable AI adoption
    • Sustainable digital operations
    • Faster decision-making
    • Lower operational friction
    • Trust in automation

    It is the platform upon which all successful change is established.

    And yet, it’s largely invisible in hiring policies.

    Final Thought

    The next advantage won’t be achieved by hiring more specialized staff.

    It will be for those who understand how each piece fits together and can imagine a new way to design so that work flows naturally.

    Organizations don’t need more effort.

    They need better systems.

    And systems don’t just get better by themselves.

    They get better when someone knows how to look at them.

  • The Hidden Cost of Tool Proliferation in Modern Enterprises

    The Hidden Cost of Tool Proliferation in Modern Enterprises

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Modern enterprises run on tools.

    From project management platforms and collaboration apps, to analytics dashboards, CRMs, automation engines and AI copilots, the average organization today is alive with dozens — sometimes hundreds — of digital tools. They all promise efficiency, visibility or speed.

    But in spite of this proliferation of technology, many companies say they feel slower, more fragmented and harder to manage than ever.

    The issue is not a dearth of tools.

    They have mushroomed out of control.

    When More of What We Do Counts for Less

    There is, after all, a reason every tool is brought into the mix. A team needs better tracking. Another wants faster reporting. A third needs automation. Individually, each decision makes sense.

    Together, they form a vast digital ecosystem that no one fully understands.

    Eventually, work morphs from achieving outcomes to administrating tools:

    • Applying the same information to multiple systems

    • Switching contexts throughout the day

    • Reconciling conflicting data

    • Navigating overlapping workflows

    The organization is flush with tools but doesn’t know how to use them.

    The Illusion of Progress

    There is a sense of momentum to catching on to the latest tool. New dashboards, new licenses, new features — all crystal-clear signals of renewal.

    But visibility isn’t the same as effectiveness.

    A lot of corporations confuse activity with progress. They add a tool, instead of cleaning out issues with unclear ownership, broken workflows or dysfunctional decision structures. Somehow technology takes the place of design.

    Instead of simplifying work, tools simply add onto existing complexity.

    Unseen Costs That Don’t Appear on Budgets

    The financial cost of tool proliferation is clear for all to see: the licenses, integrations, support and training. The more destructive costs are unseen.

    These include:

    • We waste time by switching constantly between contexts

    • Cognitive overload from competing systems

    • Slowed decisions being made because of cherry-picked information.

    • Manual reconciliation between tools

    • Diminished confidence in data and analysis

    None of these show up as line items on the balance sheet, but together they chip away at productivity every day.

    Fragmented Tools Create Fragmented Accountability

    When a few different tools touch the same workflow, ownership gets murky.

    Who owns the source of truth?

    Which system drives decisions?

    Where should issues be resolved?

    With accountability eroding, people reflexively double-check, duplicate work and add unnecessary approvals. Coordination costs rise. Speed drops.

    The organization is now reliant on human hands to stitch things together.

    Tool Sprawl Weakens Decision-Making

    Many tools are constructed to observe behaviour, not aid decisions.

    As information flows across platforms, leaders struggle to gain a clear picture. Metrics conflict. Context is missing. Confidence declines.

    Decisions are sluggish not for lack of data but because of a surfeit of unintegrated information. More time explaining numbers and less acting on them.

    The organization gets caught — and wobbly.

    Why the Spread of Tools Speeds Up Over Time

    Tool sprawl feeds itself.

    All ‘n’ All — As complexity grows, teams add increasingly more tools to manage the complexity. To repair the damage done by a previous one, new platforms are introduced. Every addition feels right at home on its own.

    Uncontrolled, the stack grows up organically.

    At some point, removing a tool starts to feel riskier than keeping it, even when there’s no longer any value in doing so.

    The Impact on People

    Employees pay the price for tool overload.

    They absorb multiple interfaces, memorize where data resides and adjust to evolving protocols. High performers turn into de facto integrators, patching together the gaps themselves.

    Over time, this leads to:

    • Fatigue from constant task-switching

    • Reduced focus on meaningful work

    • Frustration with systems that appear to “get in the way”

    • Burnout disguised as productivity

    If the systems require too great an adaptation, human beings pay the price.

    Rethinking the Role of Tools

    High-performing organizations approach tools differently.

    They don’t say, “What tool do we need to add?”

    They ask, “What are we solving for?”

    They focus on:

    • Defining workflows before deciding on technology

    • Reducing handoffs and duplication

    • Relative ownership each decision point

    • Making sure the tools fit with how work really gets done.

    In these settings, tools aid execution rather than competing for focus.

    From Tools Stacks to Work Systems

    The aim is not to have fewer tools no matter what. It is coherence.

    Successful firms view their digital ecosystem holistically:

    • Decisions are outcome-driven, in the sense that tools are selected based on outcomes choosing a tool for an activity and identifying key activities to be executed.

    • Data flows are intentional

    • Redundancy is minimized

    • Complexity is engineered out, not maneuvered around

    This transition turns technology from overhead into leverage.

    Final Thought

    The number of tools is almost never the problem.

    It is a manifestation of deeper problems in how work is organized and managed.

    It is not a deficit of technology that makes organizations inefficient. It is sort of like — they become high-intensity growth in the wrong way, because they don’t put structure to technology.

    The truly wonderful opportunity isn’t bringing better tools, but engineering better systems of work — ones where the tools fade to the background and the results step forward.

  • Why Most Digital Transformations Fail After Go-Live

    Why Most Digital Transformations Fail After Go-Live

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    For most companies go-live is seen as the end point of digital transformation. Systems are rolled out, dashboards light up, leadership rejoices and teams get trained. On paper, the change is total.

    But this where failure typically starts.

    Months after go-live, adoption slows. Workarounds emerge. Business outcomes remain unchanged. Something that was supposed to be a step-change quietly becomes yet another overpriced system people endure, rather than rely on.

    Few digital transformations fail because of technology.

    They don’t work because companies mistake deployment for transformation.

    The Go-Live Illusion

    Go-live feels definitive. It is quantifiable, observable and easy to embrace. But it stands for just one thing: the system now exists.

    But systems do not make transformation happen. It’s about the ways work changes because the system is there.

    For most programs, the technical readiness is where it ends:

    • The platform works
    • Data is migrated
    • Features are enabled
    • SLAs are met

    Operational readiness is seldom tested-Does the organization really know how to work differently (or more often the same) on day one post go?

    Technology Changes Faster Than Behavior

    Digital transformations take for granted that when tools are in place, behavior will follow. In fact, behavior lags software by a distance greater than the space between here and Mars.

    People return to what they already know how to do, when:

    • Releases for new workflows feel slower or more risky
    • Accountability becomes unclear
    • Exceptions aren’t handled well
    • The system is in fact introducing, rather than eliminating, friction.

    When roles, incentives and decision rights aren’t intentionally redesigned, in fact, teams just throw old habits around new tools. The transformation becomes cosmetic.

    The system changes. The organization doesn’t.

    Design of Process is as a Side Work 

    A lot of these are just turning analog processes into digital ones, without necessarily asking whether those analog processes make sense anymore.

    Instead, legacy inefficiencies are automated not eradicated. Approval layers are maintained “for security.” Workflows are drawn like org charts, not results.

    As a result:

    • Automation amplifies complexity
    • Cycle times don’t improve
    • Coordination costs increase
    • They work harder to manage the system.

    Technology only exposes what is actually a problem, when the processes aren’t working.

    Ownership Breaks After Go-Live

    During implementation, ownership is clear. There are project managers, system integrators and steering committees. Everyone knows who is responsible.

    After go-live, ownership fragments.

    • Who owns system performance?
    • Who owns data quality?
    • Who owns continuous improvement?
    • Who owns business outcomes?

    Implicit screw you there in the lack of post-launch ownership. Enhancements stall. Trust erodes. The result is that in the end it becomes “IT’s problem” rather than a business capability.

    Nobody is minding the store, so digital platforms rot.

    Success Metrics Are Backward-Looking

    Most of these transformations define success in terms of delivery metrics:

    • On-time deployment
    • Budget adherence
    • Feature completion
    • User logins

    Those are decisions metrics and they don’t do anything to tell you if this action improved decisions, decreased effort or added illimitable value.

    When leadership is monitoring activity, not impact, teams optimize for visibility. Adoption is thus coerced rather than earned. The organization is changing — just not for the better.

    Change Management Is Underestimated

    Pulling a training session or writing a user manual is not change management.

    Real change management involves:

    • Redesigning how decisions are made
    • Ensuring that new behaviors are safer than old ones
    • Cleaning out redundant and shadow IT systems
    • By strengthening use from incentives and managerial behavior

    Without it, workers regard new systems as optional. They follow them when they need to and jump over them when pushed.

    Transformation doesn’t come from resistance, but from ambiguity.

    Digital Systems Expose Organizational Weaknesses

    Go-live tends to expose problems that were prior cloaked in shadow:

    • Poor data ownership
    • Conflicting priorities
    • Unclear accountability
    • Misaligned incentives

    Instead of fixing this problems, companies blame the tech. Confidence drops, and momentum fades.

    But it’s not the system that’s the problem — it’s the mirror.

    What Successful Transformations Do Differently

    Organizations that realize success after go-live treat transformation as an ongoing muscle, not a one-and-done project.

    They:

    • How to design the workflow around outcomes instead of tools
    • Assign clear post-launch ownership
    • Govern decision quality, not just system usage
    • Iterate on programs from actually trying them out
    • Embed technology into the way work is done

    Go-live, in fact, is the start of learning, not the end of work.

    From Launch to Longevity

    Digital transformation is not a systems installation.

    It’s about changing the way an organization works at scale.

    If companies do fail post go-life, it’s almost never because of the technology. That’s because the body ceased converting prematurely.

    The work is only starting once the switch flips.

    Final Thought

    A successful go-live demonstrates that technology can function.

    A successful transformation is evidence that people are going to work differently.

    Organizations that acknowledge this difference transition from digital projects to digital capability — and that is where enduring value gets made.

  • The End of Linear Roadmaps in a Non-Linear World

    The End of Linear Roadmaps in a Non-Linear World

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Linear roadmaps were the foundation of organizational planning for decades. Clearly define a vision, split it into multiple parts, give them dates and implement one by one. It succeeded when markets changed slowly, competition was predictable and change occurred at a rather linear pace.

    That world no longer exists.

    Volatile, interconnected and non-linear is today’s environment in which we are operating. Technology shifts overnight. Customer needs change more quickly than quarterly planning can accommodate. Regulatory headwinds, market shocks and platform dependencies collide in unpredictable ways. But many organizations still use linear roadmaps — unwavering sequences based on assumptions that reality no longer honors.

    The result isn’t just a series of deadlines missed. It is strategic fragility.

    How Linear Roadmaps Ever Worked To understand why we are where we are, it’s important to go back in time.

    Linear roadmaps were created in a period of equilibrium. You would know what input to pump in, dependencies were manageable and outcomes were fairly controllable. That was possible because the organizational environment rewarded consistent execution more than adaptability.

    In that way, linearity meant clarity:

    • Teams knew what came next
    • Progress was easy to measure
    • Accountability was straightforward
    • Coordination costs were low

    But these advantages rested on one crucial assumption: One could reasonably expect that the future would look a lot like the past, smooth enough that it was possible to plan for.

    That assumption has quietly collapsed.

    The World is Non-Linear And that’s the reality!

    The systems of today are not linear. Little tweaks can have outsized effects. The independent variables have complex interaction between them. Feedback loops shorten the timespan between cause and effect.

    In a non-linear world:

    • Tiny product change can mean the difference between fire and growth
    • One failure of dependency and so many initiatives can be stalled
    • An AI model refresh might be able to change the pattern of decision making across the company
    • Competitive advantages vanish much more quickly than they can be planned for

    Linear roadmaps fail here, since they rely on a simple causality and stability of the sequence. In fact, everyone is always changing.

    Why Linear Planning Doesn’t Work in The Real World

    Linear roadmaps do not fail noisily. They fail quietly.

    Teams keep doing work until they deem their initial assumptions wrong. Dependencies multiply without visibility. Decisions are delayed because it feels scarier to change the roadmap than to stick with it. Most of the effort is carried out before leadership even realizes that the plan has become irrelevant.

    Common symptoms include:

    • Constant re-prioritization preserving the initial structure
    • Cosmetic reworked roadmaps without hard-rebooted above done and only that.
    • Teams focused on delivery, not relevance
    • Success as measured by compliance not outcomes

    The roadmap becomes a relic of solace — not a directional instrument.

    The Price of Memory Over Learning

    One of the most serious hazards of linear roadmaps is early commitment.

    When plans are locked in place ahead of time, organizations optimize for execution over learning. New information serves as a disturbance, not an insight. Defending plans is rewarded while challenging them penalized.

    This is paradoxical: As the environment becomes more uncertain, the planning process becomes more rigid.

    Eventually organizations cease to re‐adapt in “real time.” They adjust only at predetermined intervals, and by the time you know there’s truly a need to tweak, in many cases it’ll be too late.

    From Roadmaps to Navigation Systems

    High-performing organizations aren’t ditching planning — they’re reimagining it.

    They don’t work with static roadmaps but dynamic navigation tools. The systems are intended to adapt and take feedback, change course as needed.

    Key characteristics include:

    Decision-Centric Planning

    Plans are made around decisions, not deliverables. Teams focus on what decisions need to be made, with what information and by whom.

    Outcome-Driven Direction

    Success is defined by results and learning velocity, not completion of tasks. Achievement is measured in relevance, not on paper.

    Short Planning Horizons

    Long-term commitment is evident, albeit action plans are of short duration and flexible. This lowers the cost of change while maintaining strategic continuity.

    Built-In Feedback Loops

    Data, signals from customers and operational insights are all pumped directly into planning cycles for the fastest possible course correction.

    Leadership in a Non-Linear Context

    Leadership also has to evolve.

    In a non-linear world, leaders cannot be held accountable for accurately predicting the future. They are meant to build systems that respond intelligently to it.

    This means:

    • Autonomous teams within borders of authority
    • Encouraging experimentation without chaos
    • Rewarding learning, not just delivery
    • Releasing certainty and embracing responsefulness

    We move from inflexible plans to sound decision frameworks.

    Technology as friend — or foe

    Technology can paradoxically hasten adaptability or entrench rigidity.

    Fixed processes They are created by tools that strictly enforce a process with hard-coded dependencies, inflexible approvals and instead of enabling, the forces an organization to perform the same linear behavior over and over. When properly designed, these afford for quick sensing, distributed decision making and adjustable actions.

    However, the distinction is not really in the tools, but how purposefully we bring them into our decision making.

    The New Planning Advantage

    In a non-linear world competitive advantage is not from having the best plan.

    It comes from:

    • Detecting change earlier
    • Responding faster
    • Making better decisions under uncertainty
    • Learning continuously while moving forward

    Linear roadmaps promise certainty. Adaptive systems deliver resilience.

    Final Thought

    The future doesn’t happen in straight lines. It never really was — we just pretended it was for long enough that linear planning made sense.

    Businesses who still insist on their rigid roadmaps will only fall further behind the curve. Those who adopt adaptive, decision-centric planning will not only survive volatility; they’ll turn it to their advantage.

    The end of linear roadmaps is not undisciplined.

    It is the first line of strategic intelligence.

  • When Software Becomes the Organization

    When Software Becomes the Organization

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Once upon a time, software was secondary within companies. It managed payroll, stored documents, tracked tickets and generated reports. Strategy resided in leadership meetings, culture existed in individuals and systems lurked quietly out of sight.

    That era has ended.

    Software these days does a lot more than facilitate work: It’s how work gets done. In a lot of organizations, the real structure is not in org charts or policy documents. It exists in workflows, permissions, automated rules, dashboards and decision engines.

    In small but profound ways, the software is now the organization.

    The Invisible Architecture Shaping Behavior

    Every system bakes in assumptions about how work should happen. Who can approve a request? The maximum time that a job is allowed to be pending. What metrics count, and what is out of sight.

    The behavior they institute becomes more regularized over time than any messages from leadership ever could.

    As approvals start to be based on a series of layers, caution becomes how things are usually done.

    With real-time performance monitoring, that urgency becomes a habit.

    If exceptions are difficult to log, then issues quietly get side-stepped instead of lifted up.

    All of this is not happening because people don’t have a sense of urgency. It occurs because systems reward conformity and punish deviation. The organization is gradually adapting to the logic of software.

    From the Logic of Man to the System Logic

    While human judgment is replaced by system logic as organizations scale. The standardization of course offers efficiency, predictability and control.

    But something is lost in the shuffle.

    Choices that used to be made out of context, in conversation, from experience are now made via a dropdown list, an automated process and validation rules. Ambiguity’s not talked about – it’s chained up.

    This is fine for stable worlds. It does not work well in dynamic ones.

    When circumstances evolve but systems fail to, organizations are effectively making decisions based on outdated assumptions. Teams adhere to workflows even when they make no sense except that it’s harder not to do so. Efficiency becomes to lethargy.

    Culture Is Written Into Code

    Culture is often described in terms of values, the tone set by the leadership or employee behavior. But culture, in modern organizations, also resides inside software.

    It resides in what the system is measuring.

    It resides in what it inflates.

    Instead, it resides in that which it silently bypasses.

    When systems measure activity not results, busyness more than impact is served.

    If risk reporting is voluntary, optimism triumphs over realism.

    When feedback loops are laggy, learning is accidental.

    Employees, over time, don’t adjust themselves to mission statements; they adapt to system signals. Culture is less about what leaders say, and more about what the software insists.

    When No One Owns the Decision

    Blurred accountability (or: “the election problem”) One of the most insidious effects on software-driven organizations.

    “Decisions become opaque and ownership becomes murky in systems like this,” Cartes said. Was it a decision leadership made — or was it used as the default setup? Was an outcome purposeful — or just the consequence of an automated rule?

    When things go badly, organizations generally find it difficult to respond simply to a fundamental question: Why did we do this?

    Without accountability the ownership of system logic, AI models, and automated workflows turns ambiguous. That’s the way of systems not designed to have humans be responsible.

    The Rise of Organizational Rigidity

    Oddly enough the software that’s supposed to increase agility just actually slows it down.

    With complex workflows, modifying them is risky and time-consuming. Teams are hesitant to change rules because consequences further down the line are not clear. Temporary fixes become permanent workarounds. After a while, organizations don’t stop changing — not because they decide not to change anymore, but because their systems can’t support it.

    The organization is highly optimized for a previous iteration of itself.

    Designing Organizations, Not Just Systems

    The answer isn’t less software. It is a more intentional design.

    Organizations will have to start thinking about software as organizational architecture, not just infrastructure. It means continually asking hard questions:

    • For what behaviors are our systems providing incentives?
    • What decisions have we delegated to the machine with no clear owner?
    • Where have we exchanged judgment for expediency?
    • How adaptable can our systems be, as strategy shifts?

    Best in class organizations review the workflow in the same way they would a strategy. They audit the assumptions built into systems. They design for flexibility, not just efficiency.

    Most of all, they prevent human beings from outsourcing accountability — even if computers help.

    Why This Matters More With AI

    The more that AI is dictating decisions, the higher the stakes. AI doesn’t just run logic; it learns from patterns and reinforces them.

    When they are poorly designed, AI delivers a speed boost to existing problems. If designed with intention, it magnifies good judgment.

    Trust, flexibility and clarity don’t automatically result from sophisticated technology. And they come from systems that are responsible, transparent and designed to evolve.

    Final Thought

    Organizations lose sight of their mission not through lack of caring.

    They go astray because systems quietly take control.

    When software becomes the organization, the competitive edge isn’t about having the latest tools — it’s about designing those tools with intention.

    The future will belong to groups that embrace this fact:

    Every line of code is a leadership decision as well.

  • Engineering for Change: Designing Systems That Evolve Without Rewrites

    Engineering for Change: Designing Systems That Evolve Without Rewrites

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    The system for most things is: It works.

    Very few are built to change.

    Technology changes constantly in fast-moving organizations — new regulations, new customer expectations, new business models. But for many engineering teams, every few years they’re rewriting some core system it’s not that the technology failed us, but the system was never meant to be adaptive.

    The real engineering maturity is not of making the perfect one system.

    It’s being systems that grow and change without falling apart.

    Why Most Systems Get a Rewrite

    Rewrites are doing not occur due to a lack of engineering talent. The reason they happen is that early design choices silently hard-code an assumption that ceases to be true.

    Common examples include:

    • Workflows with business logic intertwined around them
    • Data models purely built for today’s use case
    • Infrastructure decisions that limit flexibility
    • Manually infused automated sequences

    Initially, these choices feel efficient. They simplify everything and increase speed of delivery. Yet, as the organization grows, every little change gets costly. The “simple” suddenly turns brittle.

    At some point, teams hit a threshold at which it becomes riskier to change than to start over.

    Change is guaranteed — rewrites are not

    Change is a constant. It’s not that systems are failing because they need to be rewritten, technically speaking: They’re failing structurally.

    When you have systems that are designed without clear boundaries, evolution rubs and friction happens.” New features impact unrelated components. Small enhancements require large coordination. Teams become cautious, slowing innovation.

    Engineering for change is accepting that requirements will change, and systematizing in such a way that we can take on those changes without falling over.

    The Main Idea: De-correlate from Overfitting

    Too many systems are being optimised for performance, or speed, or cost far too early. Optimization counts, however, premature optimization is frequently the enemy of versatility.

    Good evolving systems focus on decoupling.

    Business rules are de-contextualised from execution semantics.

    Data contracts are stable even when implementations are different

    Abstraction of Infrastructure Scales Without Leaking Complexity

    Interfaces are explicit and versioned

    Decoupling allows teams to make changes to parts of the system independently, without causing a matrix failure.

    The aim is not to take complexity away but to contain it.

    Designing for Decisions, Not Just Workflows 

    Now with that said, you don’t design all of this just to make something people can use—you design it as a tool that catches the part of a process or workflow when it goes from step to decision.

    Most seek to frame systems in terms of workflows: What happens first, what follows after and who has touched what.

    But workflows change.

    Decisions endure.

    Good systems are built around points of decision – where judgement is required, rules may change and outputs matter.

    When decision logic is explicit and decoupled, it’s possible for companies to change policies, compliance rules, pricing models or risk limits without having to extract these hard-coded CRMDs.

    It is particularly important in regulated or fast-growing environments where rules change at a pace faster than infrastructure.

    Why “Good Enough” Is Better Than “Best” in Microbiota Engineering

    Other teams try to achieve flexibility by placing extra configuration layers, flags and conditionality.

    Over time, this leads to:

    • Hard-to-predict behavior
    • Configuration sprawl
    • Unclear ownership of system behavior
    • Fear of making changes

    Flexibility without structure creates fragility.

    Real flexibility emerges from strict restrictions, not endless possibilities. Good systems are defined, what can change, how it can change, and who changes those changes.

    Evolution Requires Clear Ownership

    Systems do not develop in a seamless fashion if property is not clear.

    In an environment where no one claims architectural ownership, technical debt accrues without making a sound. Teams live with limitations rather than solve for them. The cost eventually does come to the fore — too late.

    Organisations that design for evolution manage ownership at many places:

    • Who owns system boundaries
    • Who owns data contracts
    • Who owns decision logic
    • Who owns long-term maintainability

    Responsibility leads to accountability, and accountability leads to growth.

    The Foundation of Change is Observability

    Safe evolving systems are observable.

    Not just uptime and performance wise, but behavior as well.

    Teams need to understand:

    • How changes impact downstream systems
    • Where failures originate
    • Which components are under stress
    • How real users experience change

    Without that visibility, even small shifts seem perilous. With it, evolution is tame and predictable.

    Observability mitigates fear​—and fear is indeed the true blocker to change.

    Constructing for Change – And Not Slowing People Down

    A popular concern is that designing for evolution reduces delivery speed. In fact, the reverse is true in the long-run.

    Teams initially design slower, but fly faster later because:

    • Changes are localized
    • Testing is simpler
    • Risk is contained
    • Deployments are safer

    Engineering for change is a virtuous circle. You have to make every iteration of this loop easier rather than harder.

    What Engineering for Change Looks Like in Practice

    Companies who successfully sidestep rewrites have common traits:

    • They are averse to monolithic “all-in-one” platforms.
    • They look at architecture as a living organism.
    • They refactor proactively, not reactively
    • They connect engineering decisions to the progression of the business

    Crucially, for them, systems are products to be tended — not assets to be discarded when obsolete.

    How Sifars aids in Organisations to Build Evolvable Systems

    Sifars In Sifars, are helping companies lay the foundation of systems that scale with the business contrary to fighting it.

    We are working toward recognizing structural rigidity, and clarifying systems ownership and new architectural designs that support continuous evolution. We enable teams to lift out of fragile dependencies and into modular, decisionful systems that can evolve without causing an earthquake.

    Not unlimited flexibility — sustainable change.

    Final Thought

    Rewrites are expensive.

    But rigidity is costlier.

    “The companies that win in the long term are never about having the latest tech stack — they’re always about having something that changes as reality changes.”

    Engineering for change is not about predicting the future.

    It’s about creating systems that are prepared for it.

  • Measuring People Is Easy. Designing Work Is Hard.

    Measuring People Is Easy. Designing Work Is Hard.

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Most organizations are fantastic at measuring people. They define metrics, create dashboards, schedule reviews and doggedly track targets. Labour time, outcomes, utilisation rates and KPIs may all represent productivity. As an outsider looking in, it seems like performance is a tightly-scripted process.

    However in spite of all this measurement, many organisations wrestle with the same enduring issues: work feels transacted not deep; teams are ripped, outcomes fall shy and high performers burn out. That raises an uncomfortable question: if you’re so good at measuring, why does productivity still fail?

    The answer is simple, if not easy: it’s far easier to measure people than to design work.

    The Comfort of Measurement

    Measurement feels reassuring. Numbers give the illusion of control. When leaderships can look at charts, scores and ranks then there is this air of objectivity to how performance are being managed.

    Most organisations invest heavily in:

    • Individual performance metrics
    • Time and activity tracking
    • Output-based targets
    • Review and appraisal frameworks

    These are well-known systems, scalable and easy to standardise. They also shift responsibility downward. When things don’t work out, the temptation is to assume that the problem is one of effort rather than that of how work itself is organized.

    Why Measurement Rarely Fixes Productivity

    The issue with measurement is that it’s not bad but it’s insufficient. Deciding what to do with them doesn’t magically make work flow better through an organisation.

    People who never work on bad design suffer too. Responsibilities are fragmented, dependencies are muddy, priorities change frequently and decisions lag. There, quantity often serves as a catalyst of symptoms rather than causes.

    People are rated, coached and pushed harder, yet the underlying friction that was holding you back is allowed to fester.

    Work Design: The Secret to Productivity

    Designing work is deciding how jobs are arranged, how tasks are allotted and how decisions course through the organisation. “An ideology of effort dispensates or multiplies,” he said.

    Badly performed work often rears its ugly head as:

    • Constant context switching
    • Excessive coordination and handoffs
    • Unclear ownership and accountability
    • Work pending approvals and no Progress.

    None of these problems is addressed by better measurement. They require intentional design.

    Why It’s So Much Easier to Make Decisions About Someone Else’s Work

    Unlike measurement, work design makes organisations uncomfortable in the face of inconvenient truths. It forces leaders to question structures, practices and decision rights that have been part of the company for years.

    The design of work at its best raises other questions that are harder to answer:

    • Who truly owns this outcome?
    • Where’s work slowing? And why?
    • Which ones are adding value, and which are just there because of repetition?
    • Which decisions should get made closer to the execution?

    These three questions challenge hierarchy, routine and control. As a result, many organizations tend to measure the people instead.

    When Measurement Becomes a Distraction

    Over-measurement can actively harm productivity. When people are judged based on narrow measures like these, they will optimize for the metric and not for the goal we actually want to accomplish. Partnerships are hurt, risks are shunned, and short-term results trump long term value.

    Work in those places… work becomes performance. The activity picks up, but the influence does not. Teams cross fingers to prove they are productive, instead of simply being productive.

    Measurement is then distracting from the real work of improvement.

    The Human Toll of Poor Work Design

    When work is poorly designed, people absorb the waste. They work late, patch over gaps and bend around broken processes. Initially, this looks like commitment. It eventually demoralizes and alienates people.

    It is the high performers who start feeling this pressure first. They are given more work, with more complexity and more ambiguity. Eventually, they crash or break down or leave — not because they cannot handle the job but because it’s impossible to keep at that pace.

    Moving Its Gaze from People to Work

    Productivity increasing organizations are those that stop looking at individuals and start focusing on a better system of work.

    This means paying attention to:

    • How work flows across teams
    • Where decisions get delayed
    • How priorities get made (and remade)

    Whether the functions are such that roles can be designated or muddied

    Good design naturally leads to better performance. This creates a mentality where measurement is supportive, not punitive.

    A Model of Better Work Design

    Good work Places have some things in common.

    • Clear ownership of outcomes
    • Fewer handoffs and dependencies
    • Decision-making authority aligned with responsibility
    • Procedures that create, rather than minimize friction

    People are not needed to keep an eye on such systems. Productivity does not manifest in hours, productivity shows up in results.

    How Sifars Approaches Productivity Differently

    We believe at Sifars that problems of productivity are rarely problems with people. They are design problems. 

    Shaping work: an examination of the ways in which we divide up and structure work, make decisions and design systems that do – or don’t – support performance.

    We’re dedicated to helping leaders go beyond just measurement to intentional work design that drives clarity, pace and sustainability.

    Conclusion

    It will always be easier to measure people than it is to design work. It’s quicker, it memorizes and it disrupts less. But it is also less powerful.

    After all, real productivity gains accrue from deliberately shaping environments in which it’s easy to do good work and hard to do bad work.

    Work designIf organisations can get the work design right, then individuals don’t have to be pushed.

    They perform.

    If your company monitors performance closely but still finds productivity lagging, the problem may not be effort — it may be how work is constructed.

    Sifars enables organisations to reimagine the design of work, flow of decisions, and execution models so that effort translates into real impact.

  • When Faster Payments Create Slower Organisations

    When Faster Payments Create Slower Organisations

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    Faster payments have remade how we do banking over the past decade. Real-time settlement, instant payments and 24/7 payment rails have changed the game on both customer expectations and competitive conditions. Boasting about your speed is no longer a point of distinction, it’s table stakes. The ability to move money instantly has become associated with progress for FinTechs, banks and payment platforms.

    But inside a lot of organisations, there is something almost paradoxical going on. Payments speed ahead rather more quickly than the organisations that support them. Decisions come late, controls can’t keep up and the operational complexity goes up. Something that should make business run faster can, if not handled well, slow the organisation down.

    A Speed Angle in Payments

    High-speed payment systems were supposed to banish that friction. They cut down on settlement times, enhance management of liquidity and provide customers more immediate value. To an outsider - they’re all about “efficiency” and “innovation.”

    Behind the scenes, though, speedier payments require much more than better technology. They demand that organizations work with real-time insight, instantaneous decisions and durable controls. Without such capabilities, transaction-level speed puts pressure on an organization.

    Real-Time Transactions, Real-Time Pressure

    The traditional payment systems had buffers. Settlement delays allowed time to have data reconciled, to look out for exceptions and to step in when there were problems. By making payments faster, these buffers vanish completely.

    Operational team under pressure As transactions complete on-line there is continuous pressure to detect, evaluate, respond in real time. When it is not clear who owns what, and how calls are escalated if necessary, that urgency isn’t channeled into action; it just turns into indecision and chaos. The organization responds more slowly even as transactions become faster.

    Risk and Compliance 

    Faster payments amplify risk exposure. Let’s face it — even when most of your tasks are automated, attempting to defraud a business no longer involves being met in opposition by the stern glare of an office auditor; potential mistakes suddenly don’t take weeks or months to be caught and rectified. While automation helps you manage volume, it’s not an excuse to externally distribute judgment and governance.

    Many organizations find that their risk and compliance programs were built for slower systems. What was once a good-enough infrastructure of controls now seems unable to maintain control. Reviews increase, approvals become more hesitant and interventions more complex — the organisation is becoming less slippery.

    Operational Complexity Grows Quietly

    Faster payments can often depend on interconnected systems, third-party providers and exchanges in real time. Each integration introduces dependency. Things do not get any easier as time goes by to navigate the operational terrain.

    Complexity of this kind doesn’t just slow transactions — it slows organisations. Teams are spending more time co-ordinating across systems and resolving exceptions and dependencies. What seems effortless to consumers is typically precarious behind the scenes.

    The Latency of Decisions in a World that is Real Time

    Decision latency is one of the biggest challenges that faster payments pose. When money can travel in an instant, the cost of slow decisions becomes much higher.

    But many organizations still have approval structures and governance models that were designed for a more glacial pace. Teams escalate only those issues that need to be addressed immediately, yet decisions are stalled. This dissonance between transaction speed and organisational speed exposes risk and diminishes trust.

    Edge speed requires core speed.

    Always-On Systems and The Human Factor

    Faster payments operate continuously. And with real-time payments, there is no room for error, as with cash-based cut-off systems in the past. This keeps constant pressure on the operations teams.

    In the absence of intelligent workforce design and process clarity, heroics instead systems are what people pin their hopes on within an organization. Burnout goes up, mistakes go up and productivity goes down. As time goes by the organisation gets slower – not because technology fails but rather people become overloaded.

    Why Faster Payments Alone Don’t Necessarily Make For Faster Organisations

    There is no reason to believe that faster technology will beget faster organisations. Speed at the Speed at the transaction level will exacerbate structural, governance and decision making weaknesses.

    Faster payments expose:

    • Unclear ownership and accountability
    • Fragile risk and compliance processes
    • Overdependence on automation without oversight
    • Models of governance that won’t work in the speed of life

    If it can’t be fixed, then speed is a disadvantage, not an advantage.

    Designing the Organizations to Fit Payment Speed

    Such organisations which are successful with faster payments match their operational design to technology. They’re investing not just in platforms but in clarity.

    This includes:

    • Real-time decision frameworks
    • Clear escalation and ownership models
    • Embedded risk and compliance controls
    • Cross-functional collaboration between operations, technology and governance

    When people move at the speed of your organization, faster payments are more strength, less stress.

    How Sifars is Ameliorating Organisations to Bridge the Speed Gap

    We are working with financial industry leaders and FinTechs at Sifars to close the chasm between payment velocity and organisational preparedness. We work with leaders to determine areas where faster payments are causing friction, rethink operating models and build governance structures that operate effectively in real time.

    We want fast without losing control, reliability or regulatory trust.

    Conclusion

    Fast payments are changing financial services but they don’t automatically change an organisation. And without the proper underpinnings to the operation, speed at the transaction level can actually impede everything else.

    It’s not transaction speed that will decide the winners; the organisations that do win out are likely to be those that can bring together technology, people and governance to operate comfortably at this pace.

    If your pay systems operate in real time but your organisation can barely keep up, here is the point to reflect on how speed should be handled internally.

  • Busy Teams, Slow Organizations: Where Productivity Breaks Down

    Busy Teams, Slow Organizations: Where Productivity Breaks Down

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Many organisations today are rich with movement but poor in momentum. They juggle busy schedules, support various projects at the same time and are always on the phone or e-mail to satisfy their customer’s wishes. On the outside, productivity seems high. But internally, leaders feel that something is wrong. Projects are slower than you thought they would be, decisions sputter along, and strategic aims seem to take more effort to attain than they should.

    It is no accident that gap between what we see as a child’s effort and real progress. It’s illustrative of the way productivity tends to disintegrate at an organisational level even when team members are pulling out all the stops.

    The Illusion of Productivity

    Being busy is a status symbol. The perception is that work is being achieved effectively when people are always “busy. Indeed, busyness is frequently a cover for inefficiency deeper down. Teams are losing out on the flow time to work that catalyzes for lasting impact as they spend endless hours in coordinating, updating, aligning and reacting.

    Real productivity isn’t working hard, it’s whether all the work you’re doing is moving your organisation forward.

    Too Many Priorities, Too Little Attentiveness

    The lack of prioritisation is one of the biggest problems. Teams are often summoned to work on multiple initiatives simultaneously, with each presented as key. Attention gets scattered and the momentum slows.

    The result is a familiar cycle:

    • Strategic initiatives fight for resources with day-to-day operational duties
    • The context switching over and over again, no depth for a team or momentum.
    • Long-term interests are sacrificed to short-term needs.

    No amount of skills can get the job done without focus, uninspiring even for the best teams.

    Decision-Making That Slows Execution

    Speed of organisation is inextricably linked to how decisions are taken. In a lot of organizations decision-making is centralised, with teams needing approval to progress. Though it can be make you feel in control, small tasks have a way of then leading to delays and loss of momentum.

    Decision bottlenecks show up in a few common ways:

    • Teams held up while awaiting sign-offs
    • Missed opportunities with delayed responses
    • Cut ownership and interest in calibrator level

    Where there is slow decision-making, execution always lags.

    Strategy Without Clear Translation

    Another key breakdown happens when the strategy is communicated but not translated into day-to-day work. Teams may know what they are doing, but not necessarily how it relates to the goals of the institution.

    This disconnect frequently leads to:

    • High volume but low strategic impact
    • Teams head down Different paths and hard at work
    • Difficulty measuring meaningful progress

    Productivity is greatly enhanced when teams know not just what to do but why it matters.

    Process Overload and Organisational Friction

    Processes are designed to provide structure, but they can quietly pile up without scrutiny over time. What was once a facilitator of efficiency may also start slowing everything down. Too much give-the-thumbs-up, outdated tools and inflexible processes all contribute to friction that teams are working against.

    Typical consequences include:

    • Delays in execution
    • Increased rework and inefficiency
    • Frustration among high-performing teams

    Fast companies periodically audit and streamline their processes to make sure that they enhance rather than impede productivity.

    Silos That Limit Collaboration

    Clockwise, on the other hand, believes that working in silos is a productivity killer. Information moves sluggishly, feedback is slow to arrive, and coordination becomes reactive rather than proactive. There is a lot of duplication of work, and only wait until there’s a big headache to see where the problem lies.

    Siloed environments commonly experience:

    • Misalignment across departments
    • Delayed problem-solving
    • More reliance on meetings for understanding

    Timely transparent collaboration is critical for maintaining organisational velocity.

    The Hidden Impact of Burnout

    If you’re constantly busy but not supported systemically, it’s draining on people. Where teams take organisational inefficacies personally there will be burnout. Talent may get away with it for while, but productivity drops off.

    Burnout often manifests as:

    • Reduced engagement and creativity
    • Slower decision-making
    • Higher turnover and absenteeism

    Sustainable productivity goes with systems that honour the human, not just deliver outputs.

    Why Productivity Fails at The Company – Level

    The shared challenge in these cases isn’t effort; it’s design. Agencies typically try and improve individual performance without considering structural obstacles to effectiveness. But asking them to do a better job or work harder, without removing friction, only makes the problem worse.

    Productivity does not fail because people break. It falls apart because systems do not adapt.

    How Sifars organisation regains momentum Most of our Services

    We at Sifars see productivity as an organisational strength and not an individual burden. We partner with executives to surface where effort is being lost, connect strategy to execution, and map the right workflows that lead to faster decision making and a more focused business.

    Our aim isn’t to make work more stressful for teams; we hope to facilitate the creation of environments in which productivity comes naturally, and is sustainable and positively impactful.

    Conclusion

    In a busy teams are good sign of commitment, not inefficiency. The problem comes in when they do not funnel that commitment into momentum. Clarity, alignment and systems are the ingredients with which organizations can unlock productivity as they scale without burning out their people.

    If your teams never seem to have any downtime, but the progress continues to feel glacially slow, it may be time to start looking beyond individual performance.

    Sifars works with businesses to unlock bottlenecks in productivity and develop systems to transform effort into measurable value.

  • Why Healthcare AI Struggles with Data Continuity, Not Accuracy

    Why Healthcare AI Struggles with Data Continuity, Not Accuracy

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    In fact, it has been an era of fast-progress AI in health care. AI-powered systems can, for instance, carry out medical imaging and diagnosis or provide prognosis analytics clinical decision support that equals – and every now and then even surpasses-humans in results.

    Today, however, many medical AI endeavors fail to achieve consistent real outcomes.

    The problem usually lies not with model accuracy.

    More likely, it is finding the real cause of random data.

    The main problem with healthcare AI is not that it cannot analyze data well. Rather, the problem is a data environment where the data itself is broken into pieces, arrives late or not at all, or exists in separate silos across systems.

    The Real Problem Is No Longer Accuracy

    Today’s AI models in health care are trained on vast datasets, and possess the capacity to far greater degree than before. They can find patterns in images and anomalies in lab values not known by human experts, and assist doctors with risk scoring at bouquet precision levels.

    These systems work well under controlled conditions.

    However, reality for healthcare professionals is not like that. Patients’ data doesn’t arrive as a clean stream-Either it comes from different hospitals and laboratories, different departments within the same hospital; Or alternatively emerges at some time after previous events have taken place (sometimes through various channels for multiple reasons); All this is stored by insurers etc in a variety going back.

    We have to Emphasize Again That Precision Is the Key

    Thus, an accurate model is only useful when it proves itself relevant.

    Data Continuity in Healthcare: An understanding

    Data continuity is the complete, timely, and connected flow of patient information throughout its experience in health practice.

    This could involve:

    Medical history from multiple providers

    Diagnostic reports out of four or more laboratories.

    Imaging data (e.g. x-rays and MRIs ) stored on one system Medication records revised at varying intervals

    Notes on follow up which never end up getting back into any main system With this information not moving together, AI systems work off half a picture.

    They are forced to make decisions based on snapshots instead of the full story of the patient being worked over by modern medical treatment.

    Artificial Intelligence Deepens Fragmentation in Healthcare Data

    Healthcare data fragmentation is nothing new. It had already appeared long before AI came on the scene. What has changed? Today we just think that AI could help us “fix” this problem.

    In fact, AI magnifies the existing problems further.

    For example, perhaps a predictive model will show a patient is at low risk simply because the recent test results don’t match what was put into the computer before a certain deadline on some Thursday morning or afternoon. A diagnostic AI misses crucial historical patterns because past records are all but unavailable from your hospital system. If underlying data is inconsistent, then clinical decision tools produce differing suggestions.

    These are not algorithm failures. They are discontinuity failures.

    But this in itself is neither here nor there. In their view, true interoperability is about getting systems to talk to each other rather than trying to convert incompatible pipes

    By itself, interoperability will not do the trick.The patient must find his own way through time and rain. Whether in person or by phone on a network, this is essential.

    You may encounter any of the following problems even when systems are technically connected: Data may arrive after the decision has been made and so have no influence upon it.

    The first comprehensive reinternalization of history.Then, patient (or family) trains a video camera on twelve four-channel nocturnal studies for ten minutes each channel and receives back three hours of full-on sleeping lab science. No clinician attending upon him can recall such a thing as this in any hospital that he has ever seen.

    Clinicians may not trust or act on AI outputs if data sources are unclearWithout continuity, AI outputs feel unreliable–even when they are statistically accurate.

    The Human Cost Of Missed Continuity

    When systems lack continuity, human clinicians are left to fill in the gaps by hand.

    They carry out inspections for verification, and experience is relied on rather than the computer’s recommendations.

    This increases the cognitive load and trust in AI tools drops.

    Gradually, AI becomes an “added bonus” rather than a vital component of clinical workflow. Its adoption falters not because medical staff refuse technology but because this just does not match the real world of delivering patient care.

    As healthcare AI today strides forward with ever more intricate and powerful models, it is important to address a vital point.Successful healthcare AI must take into account how care actually unfolds, not just how data is organized.This means knowing (or at least taking educated guesses about) things like: When and where in the care cycle information becomes available Who needs it and in what format How people make decisions under time pressure Where people have to hand work off from zone to another AI systems adapted to clinical workflows – and capable of handling imperfect data flows – are much more likely to work than those designed in isolation.

    From Smart Models to Reliable Systems

    Healthcare AI’s future is no longer to gain marginal increases in accuracy. Instead, it is all about building systems that work effectively and safely live up in all manner of messy real-world environments.

    This calls for:

    • Strong data governance and version control
    • Context-aware data pipeline
    • Full data provenance view
    • Design right when some or all information is missing

    If continuity improves, AI becomes reliable, powerful and not just for show.

    Conclusion

    Healthcare AI does not fail because to a deficiency in intellect. It doesn’t work because intelligence needs continuity to work.

    As healthcare systems grow more digitized and connected, the real competitive edge will not be who has the most advanced model, but who can keep a full, trustworthy picture of the patient’s path.

    AI will keep having problems, not with accuracy, but with reality, until data flows as smoothly as caring is supposed to.
