What Do You Need? Let’s Apply Audit Thinking Together

Everyone sees problems differently. Some are small, like a messy workflow that wastes an hour a week. Some are big, like a budget process no one fully understands.

The point is, you see the problems before I do. And I can help you see them differently.

Here’s the plan: I’m opening up a subscriber-only Audit Thinking Lab. You bring me your processes, problems, or “something’s not right” moments, from the simplest to the most complex. I’ll run them through the Five Pillars of Audit Thinking, show you how to break them down, and give you a basic tool you can actually use.

The goal isn’t to tell you what to think. It’s to help you see more, faster, so you can act with clarity.

This is a team effort. You bring the real-world scenarios. I bring the Audit Thinking framework and the Auditing Without Power mindset. Together, we’ll cut through bias, guesswork, and blind spots.

Examples of what you could send me:

• Simple: A repetitive email approval loop that keeps getting lost.

• Complex: A supply chain that’s “transparent” on paper but never quite works in practice.

• Public: A city budget you think is wasting money.

• Personal: A home renovation where costs keep changing.

In the comments below, tell me the process, problem, or decision you want to see through the Audit Thinking lens. Once you’re a subscriber, you’ll get:

• My full breakdown of your example through the Five Pillars.

• A basic tool you can use to apply it yourself.

• Access to other readers’ submissions and my responses.

• Exclusive subscriber posts with more tools and walk-throughs.
