In December of 1913, Henry Ford introduced the assembly line to his Model T production facility, and in so doing accelerated the pace of car production by 8x.  The brilliance of this innovation was changing the way that work flowed: bringing the work to the workers, instead of the other way around.

100+ years later, the nature of work has changed, but the challenge of making it flow has not. Why does it take months to agree on a budget? Weeks to make a hiring decision?  Days to approve an expense report? What if your company was one innovation away from doing things 8x faster?

In many ways, the root cause of workflows stalling is the same that Henry Ford identified in 1913: we rely on people to “come to the work”, not physically, but digitally: to prioritize the work, log into the right system, and then do the task.

The solution to this challenge for today's "knowledge workers" is not an assembly line, but an operating system that prioritizes, coordinates, and schedules the work to be done. We are on a mission to build that operating system, and the first step is the Sudo Platform, which helps large companies accelerate slow, costly workflows by “bringing the work to their workers.”
