A business solution is only useful if it improves the way work actually happens.

That sounds obvious, but it is easy to confuse activity with progress: more screens, more fields, more reports, more meetings. Better solutions often remove steps before they add tools.

A useful filter

Before designing a solution, ask:

  • What decision does this support?
  • Who uses it every day?
  • What manual step does it reduce?
  • What information needs to be trusted?

The answers usually reveal the shape of the system.
