Systems That Work
Ideas for work that has to keep working.
Systems That Work is a series of practical essays about what happens when good ideas, new technology, and real organizations collide: authority gets fuzzy, knowledge fragments, automation changes the work, and human judgment still has to hold the system together.

Better systems are rarely about more effort.
The recurring problems are rarely a lack of effort. They are unclear authority, fragmented knowledge, brittle handoffs, weak recovery, automation without enough judgment, and processes that become harder to trust as they grow. The essays look at those failure points and ask what better operating design would actually change.
