Workarounds don’t usually appear by design. They build up gradually — small fixes that help teams keep things moving, until they become part of everyday working. Over time, what feels like “good enough” can start to slow decisions, reduce visibility and increase the effort needed to stay in control.
As these ways of working take hold, the impact is often subtle but cumulative. Data is spread across spreadsheets and systems, reporting takes longer, and teams spend more time checking information than acting on it. Confidence in the numbers can begin to dip, particularly when visibility is delayed or inconsistent.
Across the sector, this is a familiar challenge. Many organisations recognise the symptoms, but addressing them can feel complex — especially when systems are already in place and “working well enough”.
In this webinar, we take a clear, practical look at where these patterns show up and what they mean in day-to-day operations. Using simple, real-world scenarios, we explore what changes when processes and data are better connected — creating a more reliable, joined-up view that supports quicker decisions, reduces manual effort and gives teams greater confidence in how they’re working.
What you’ll learn –
- Where workarounds most commonly show up in day-to-day operations
- How spreadsheets, duplicated data and manual reporting affect visibility and trust in information
- Why small inefficiencies build over time and impact performance more than expected
- How delays in reporting limit the ability to act early and manage risk with confidence
- What a more joined-up, controlled way of working looks like in practice
- How connecting processes and data reduces manual effort and supports better decision-making
