Approvals, where work waits
Is work waiting anywhere in your organisation for one or more of these reasons:
Which of these is taking longer than it should? Book an exploratory call and bring it.
Confidential. No charge. Bring one example.
What we look for
- Expensive approvals that stay half-finished.
- Delays that keep forcing the same approvals back onto senior leaders.
We find exactly where ownership, authority, or process is slowing action and reset the approvals process.
The answers, in one minute
What gets stuck?
Sign-offs, approval limits and work waiting on you.
What does it cost?
Start with hours. Six hours a week spent approving work others should own is most of a working day, every week. Then the rand value, worked out with your finance team.
How long is the delay?
We measure it on Day 1: the days from request to approval, and from approval to action.
What is it worth?
Days and escalations at Day 30. Rand at Day 90, settled at quarter close and confirmed by your finance team. When client or supplier approvals are the ones waiting, revenue arrives sooner too.
Why 30 days?
Long enough to test new rules on live work, and short enough to keep the cost of waiting in view. On Day 31 the rules are yours, with an owner and a review date. We check the numbers again at Day 90.
We de-risk the change before you make it.
Together, we keep the checks that still matter, with the right person making the approval, and we remove what stops them.
On Day 30, you will have evidence your Board can check.
- One approval moved to the people who should own it.
- Two simple rules your team can recite, with an owner and a review date.
- Before-and-after numbers: days and escalations at Day 30, rand at Day 90.
Work waited here
A purchase that waits for the MD. A client discount that waits for the Monday meeting. A refund that waits for a supervisor. Three everyday examples show how the method works, from the first call to Day 90.
One fixed fee
Agreed in writing before work starts. Half on commencement. Half at Day 30, against thresholds we agree with you at intake. The Day 30 thresholds cover speed and escalations. The money at Day 90 is reported to you, and the fee stays as agreed.
Three questions before we talk
Do you sign things someone else could? Does any work wait for a meeting? Is any rule still running after its reason ended?
If you answered yes to any of them, book a call and bring the example.
