On this episode of Unfinished Business, David Sliman gets into it with Harold on tech mistakes that cost companies big, the importance of proactive systems, and why your onboarding, offboarding, and cybersecurity processes should never be an afterthought.
With more than 30 years in IT, Harold has helped organizations, from fast-scaling startups to established enterprises, transform their operations by thinking strategically about technology, not reactively. If you’re tired of tech chaos or ready to scale without breaking your systems, this one’s for you.
Key Takeaways:
Stop treating IT like a fire extinguisher – How a proactive approach to tech creates real business efficiency.Why your newest hire should write your onboarding checklist – A smarter way to tighten processes and avoid confusion.Think like a 50-person company (even if you’re 5) – The systems you build now determine how well you grow later.🎙️ Podcast Quote: "Hard work, easy life.
