Is Your System Actually Usable?

Weekly business ops insights — because “figure it out” isn’t a system

This week, we’re talking about what makes a system actually usable — and why “organized” doesn’t always mean “functional.”

ClickUp. Google Drive. That folder called “Master Final Final (Use This One).”

You have a system.
But is anyone actually using it?

Because there’s a difference between having a system… and having a usable system.

Here’s what I see way too often:

  • SOPs no one can find

  • Folders no one opens

  • Tools your team avoids

  • Projects that keep getting redone

  • Founders still doing everything manually


Most people think it’s a training problem.
But really?

The system was never built to be used in the first place.

A good system makes it easier to do the work.
Not just document the work.
Not just organize the work.
Actually do the work.

What makes a system usable?

It fits:

✅ Your team
✅ Your workflow
✅ Your actual, messy, day-to-day reality

My clients don’t usually need more tools.
(Okay, sometimes they do.)

But what they really need are systems that work the way they work.
