The best teams don’t chase perfection—they reduce friction. Ever been told you can’t improve a system because “the documentation isn’t up to date”? In this episode, Elias Voelker sits down with Connor Clark-Lindh , VP of Consulting and Operations at OrionW, to unpack what really drives operational excellence—and what gets in the way. Connor shares how over-documentation can become a blocker instead of a support system, especially as teams scale.

Why documentation is critical for small teams—but can stall large ones 2. How to avoid solving the wrong problem with the right tool 3.
