I managed the work. Then I built the systems behind it.

Why Strataflow

Most businesses have a habit problem before they have a technology problem.

The mess usually grows one sensible workaround at a time. A spreadsheet fixes today's problem. An inbox keeps one handoff moving. Then somebody goes on holiday and the team discovers that the process was living in their head.

I began in planning and progressed into responsibility for projects, field services, quality, forecasts and commercial decisions. That work taught me that a report has little value if nobody owns the decision it is meant to inform.

The next chapter moved from managing operational systems to building them. I redesigned GIS and data structures, then built systems for network operations, permits, workflow, stores, fleet, field evidence, reporting and accounts.

That is the basis of Strataflow. A useful system makes responsibility clear, keeps evidence with the decision and improves the result without asking the organisation to perform for the software.
