Operational friction often appears as delay, rework, duplicated effort, inconsistent decisions, unclear ownership or excessive reliance on manual coordination. These issues are rarely solved by adding another tool alone.

Process improvement begins by understanding why the friction exists and redesigning the work around the organisation’s real needs and constraints.
