The MAGDA Framework
MAGDA is:
a short, structured diagnostic that identifies where work slows down and what to fix first by making different types of work friction visible
designed to produce a small number of practical improvements within 6–12 weeks
especially suited to small and medium organisations thanks to their flexibility: smaller teams can make changes more quickly and improvements can be tested and adapted more efficiently
leaving your organisation more sustainable and easier to run, whilst providing check-ins for accountability and tweaks
not a culture change programme, a system implementation, or open‑ended transformation
not patching up inefficient workflows with technology
not cutting jobs but giving people time for more structure, generative thought, creativity and flow - and helping finish work on time
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
MAGDA isn't just a diagnostic tool - it's a tailored and personable experience supporting organisations through the change process.
