Growth is exciting, but it can also bring new challenges.

The tools and methods that helped you grow are now causing you to spend too much time fixing mistakes and using slow, manual processes.

Luckily, the fix is simple.

I’ve worked at several companies, always with growing teams. The good part? I joined when help was needed. The bad part? No one ever told me exactly what needed to be done.

I spent hours searching for information or talking to coworkers just to figure out how things worked, so I could do my job and help the team.

When everyone was close to burning out, what saved me were good systems.

I got really into building systems that helped me and my team work more smoothly. What used to take hours of work and back-and-forth discussions now got done in just minutes, without any confusion.

I joked that I was making things so efficient, I could easily be replaced! Luckily, that didn’t happen, but it gave me an idea—if I could do this for my team, I could do it for other teams too.

And that’s when Systemized Value and Blue Fado were created.
