One bad deploy = we now need 3 approvals, a checklist, and a blood sample.
When something breaks, some companies fix the system. Others… create a ceremony.
- Weekly syncs that no one needs
- Forms no one reads
- Rules no one remembers (until they break them)

Try: “How do we make it easier to do the right thing next time?”
Good teams don’t need a rule for everything. Just clear values — and a little caffeine.
