Welcome to the very first episode of There Must Be a Better Way!
Mackensie, Treve (NZ) and Niall (Ireland) dive into one of the biggest frustrations in modern workplaces: why is it still so hard to find information?
From endless folders and duplicate documents to “version_final_FINAL_v3”, we unpack the chaos most organisations are dealing with every day, and why it’s not actually the user’s fault.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why employees spend so much time searching for information
- The real reason content chaos exists in organisations
- Why AI can’t fix bad information management
- How metadata and better systems can completely change the way businesses work
If you’ve ever thought “there must be a better way to find what I need…” this podcast is for you.
