A system should help the work.
Management systems exist for a reason.
They establish expectations.
Define responsibilities.
Set standards.
Manage risk.
Coordinate work.
Maintain controls.
Support compliance.
Create accountability.

Another procedure.
Another form.
Another approval.
Another checklist.
Another reporting requirement.
Eventually the system can become work in itself.
More system isn't always more control.
Start with purpose.
Before creating another process, ask:
What problem are we trying to solve?
What decision needs to be supported?
What risk needs to be controlled?
Who needs to use this?
