MAGDA Framework

MAGDA is:

  • a short, structured diagnostic that identifies inefficiencies and what to fix first

  • a tailored and personable experience supporting organisations through the change process

  • designed to produce a small number of sustainable practical improvements within 3–12 weeks

  • perfect for individuals as well as small and medium organisations: apply improvements efficiently, adapt flexibly

  • giving people more structure and time for meaningful work, creativity and flow, and helping finish work on time.

  • not a culture change programme, a system implementation, or open‑ended transformation

  • not patching up inefficient workflows with technology

  • not cutting jobs

  • not your typical consultancy

The Seven Frictions

The MAGDA Framework uses the innovative Seven Frictions approach to analyse workflows through 7 recurring sources of friction commonly observed across organisations:

  • The frictions capture where work typically slows down, becomes unclear and inefficient, and requires unnecessary effort

  • They provide a structured basis for diagnosing problems and prioritising improvements
