Tradition is a guide, not a jail. When an organisation treats “the way we’ve always done it” as a sacred law, it loses the ability to respond to current reality.

Transitioning from “Brittle Control” to “Resilient Order” requires a map of your decision bottlenecks.

This diagnostic reveals where to introduce “flex” into the system to increase both stability and speed.
