Process Debt

🎧 And Ellon Musk Rewind: Are Our Systems Broken? (Ep. 24)


Listen Later

Get ready for a rewind to our March 21st episode, where we kicked things off with the latest drama between Trump and Musk – two fast friends turned quick enemies, with Musk seemingly taking the bigger hits this time around.

We then dove deep into the world of process debt, asking the hard question: Are the systems we rely on at work fundamentally broken? From ERP nightmares like SAP to hacked-together Atlassian setups, we explored why software becomes bloated, why RACI models often fail, and why adding fields or reports is easy but rarely wise.

If you've ever wondered:

  • Why your workflow tools feel like a graveyard of good intentions,
  • Why management demands reports no one uses,
  • Or why software “vanilla” never tastes as sweet as promised…
