Poes is physically pulled between HR, payroll, finance, and IT by cables carrying policies, data, approvals, and access.
October 14, 2026October 8, 2026 Diego

Day 7: Your employee is not the integration layer between your departments

Poes struggles through a chaotic first day with tangled cables, setup guides, access requests, licenses, tickets, and missing instructions.

Day 6: Your new employee should not be the QA department for onboarding

Poes carries consulting tools from a polished client building toward her company’s cluttered office full of manual processes and outdated tools.

Day 5: Use your own consultants on your own company

Poes sits ready to work on a bench with architecture plans while managers scramble to find resources and projects behind her.

Day 4: Bench is a management problem, not automatically an employee performance problem

Poes works at a laptop surrounded by timesheets logged in 0.25-hour increments while reusable assets, automation, and architecture represent better measures of value.

Day 3: Timesheets are not productivity

Poes studies a 92 percent utilization dashboard while client satisfaction, project margins, morale, and repeat business decline.

Day 2: Utilization is a measurement, not a business strategy

Poes reviews solution architecture while consultants move through a machine that turns talent into billable hours, illustrating the lesson “Stop running a consulting company like a staffing company.”

Mac users: if you’re not using Outlook for Mac yet, just tell me why?
