Adam & Goodman
Hey Adam, I've been thinking about how the company’s endless forms can either keep us safe or just stall us. What’s your take on tightening those processes without losing the competitive edge?
I get it – those forms can feel like a bureaucratic treadmill, but they’re also the safety net we need to avoid costly mistakes. My approach is two‑step: first, audit every form to spot duplicates and non‑essential fields, then replace the heavy ones with automated workflows that flag exceptions automatically. That way we keep compliance tight but free up the team’s time to chase the next deal or innovation. If we can cut down the paperwork cycle to under a day, we’ll still stay ahead of the competition and the auditors will thank us.
Sounds solid, but remember the audit will itself be a maze of forms. If we over‑optimize one area, we might create new bottlenecks elsewhere. Also, automating can make people feel like they’re being watched—might push the very resistance we’re trying to eliminate. Maybe keep a quick feedback loop with the team; if the “under a day” goal hits a wall, be ready to tweak the workflow instead of hard‑coding it. Just keep the human part in mind, otherwise we’ll end up with a shiny machine that nobody wants to touch.
