There Must Be a Better Way to Find What I Need (Ep1: Search)

Описание: Welcome to the very first episode of There Must Be a Better Way!

Mackensie, Treve (NZ) and Niall (Ireland) dive into one of the biggest frustrations in modern workplaces: why is it still so hard to find information?

From endless folders and duplicate documents to “version_final_FINAL_v3”, we unpack the chaos most organisations are dealing with every day, and why it’s not actually the user’s fault.

In this episode we talk about:

Why employees spend so much time searching for information
The real reason content chaos exists in organisations
Why AI can’t fix bad information management
How metadata and better systems can completely change the way businesses work

If you’ve ever thought “there must be a better way to find what I need…” this podcast is for you.
