Your organisation may be running on unofficial systems nobody at executive level can see. In this episode of The Executive Five, I examine how spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, personal relationships and side agreements can quietly become the real operating model when formal processes fail. For CEOs, COOs, CIOs and senior leaders, this episode exposes the operational risk hidden inside everyday workarounds and shows how to distinguish healthy initiative from dangerous dependency, remove hero reliance, and redesign processes around how work actually gets done.

• Repeated workarounds are often evidence of structural failure, not just employee ingenuity.
• Informal processes can become invisible infrastructure that leadership cannot see or govern.
• High performers often hide weak operating models by compensating for them.
• Removing a workaround before understanding what it protects can make the system worse.
• A strong process should not depend on one person knowing how to make the business work.
