The financial systems are still somewhat of a mystery to me, but I do understand systems failure and the assumption that reporting after the fact is enough to prevent harm. In my experience, that actually tends to create systems where those harms get covered up and people unable to look at reality and instead offload blame and problems onto the person who sees the problem clearly.
Definitely learning how to take a step back and see the entire conditions that create the problem at the time and putting in safeguards to catch those failure chains in the future is the better path, but it’s not the easy one, so there’s understandably a lot of friction before someone learns to slow down and take an objective look and take the automatic response out of the picture until you can determine if it was based in reality and in the present or on old behavioral patterns and responses to protect ego over safety and the duty of care for each other.
That’s a really sharp observation. Post-incident reporting often creates a false sense of control while the real issues keep compounding underneath. What you said about “seeing the entire conditions” is exactly the shift.
And you’re right, it’s not easy. But without that, we just get better at explaining failures, not preventing them.
Interesting and aligns nicely with what I call Time Based Architecture - Time to Insight/Action/Reporting etc. how long does it take you to do something.
But what organisations do overlook, and where AI isn’t helping, is you have to fundamentally change your processes and culture. Moving from a monthly historical reporting model to a real-time insights one has to have real change in cultural thinking and approaches.
Exactly, and that’s the harder part. The tech can enable real-time visibility, but if decisions are still made in monthly cycles, nothing really changes. The shift isn’t just systems, it’s how teams think and act on information.
Without that cultural shift, AI just makes faster reports, not better decisions.

This is actually a good read. You wrote it in such a way that someone who isn’t tech savy can understand
Thank you! That's my motive too!
