Assess the Current State of Your Organization

Disparate systems, particularly spreadsheets, can hinder the efficiency of managing work and resources, causing headaches in communication and adjusting plans. Adopting a systematic approach to managing work and resources can enhance organizational goals, communication, and productivity. To get started, assess your organization's current state and adjust where necessary, minimize complexity by taking inventory, and align work and resources across departmental boundaries. By doing so, your organization will be better prepared to understand its current state and evaluate where it needs to be.
