Entry — diagnosis and redesign

System Reset
Sprint.

A fixed-scope redesign of one obsolete workflow. We map the failure points, discard ceremony, and produce the next operating model with a measurable target.

Scope a sprint → All services

This is not a discovery workshop.

A reset ends with a decision. We name the system that currently produces the result, expose its hidden handoffs, and design the operating model that should replace it.

  1. 01 For you if The workflow is undocumented, manual, slow, or dependent on workarounds.
  2. 02 Also useful if You are about to buy or build a tool but cannot define the new workflow.
  3. 03 Not for you if You need someone to implement the feature you already specified.
System reset
Obsolete

How the work currently happens

  1. Undocumented path The real workflow lives in memory, chat threads, and workarounds.
  2. Manual handoffs People wait, reformat, and chase context between steps.
  3. Unowned exceptions Nobody owns the edge case until it becomes urgent.
  4. Unclear proof The result is discussed, but the evidence target is undefined.
Next system

How it should run after the reset

  1. Named workflow The obsolete path is mapped and the target decision is explicit.
  2. Redesigned loop Inputs, controls, outputs, and exceptions have a defined path.
  3. Named ownership Each intervention has an owner and an escalation boundary.
  4. Validation target The build must prove time, quality, cost, risk, or reliability.
How the two weeks run

From real workflow
to next operating model.

Starts as Real workflow
Ends as Next operating model
Week 1 · see the system
Week 2 · change the system
  1. 01 Week 1

    Diagnose

    We map the real process, waiting points, duplicated work, exceptions, approvals, and data sources.

  2. 02 Week 1

    Frame the target

    We define the result the replacement must move: time, quality, cost, risk, reliability, or capacity.

  3. 03 Week 2

    Design the reset

    We redraw roles, decision rights, inputs, outputs, exceptions, and ownership boundaries.

  4. 04 Week 2

    Decide the build

    We choose AI, automation, product configuration, or a deterministic fix—and define the next scope.

What you leave with

  • Current-state workflow and failure map
  • Next operating model and ownership boundary
  • Technology-fit decision
  • Validation target and build roadmap
  • Explicit list of what not to do

What we deliberately do not do

  • Pretend a diagram is the system
  • Sell a platform before the operating model is clear
  • Replace AI judgment where a simple control is enough
  • Leave adoption and ownership undefined
Next step

Reset one workflow first.

Fixed scope, two weeks. We will tell you whether to continue into Modernization after the reset is complete.
