IT Problems Are Workflow Problems, Not Just Tech Issues

The biggest myth about IT problems is that they are purely technical; in reality, they are almost always operational first.  This episode breaks down how tech complexity acts as a massive bottleneck—stalling purchase orders, desynching invoice tools, and forcing staff into risky workarounds.  Learn how to look past individual helpdesk tickets to identify the root causes of peak-hour system drag, establish clear ownership over multi-vendor data channels, and build reliable support habits that protect your customer experience and billing cycles from preventable operational friction.
