David Blagden of Intelligent Actions: Turning Chaos into Clarity with Custom Workflow Systems
David Blagden is the founder of Intelligent Actions, a UK-based company that helps small and medium-sized businesses scale by capturing and automating internal processes. A former Fortune 100 executive, David now dedicates his expertise to building custom digital workflows that reduce stress, eliminate bottlenecks, and free business owners from working 15-hour days.
Top 5 Takeaways from the Episode:
- Repeatable = Scalable: David emphasizes that scalability is only possible when a business has repeatable processes in place—chaos doesn’t scale.
- “Johnny Knowledge” Is Dangerous: Many businesses rely on one person’s undocumented expertise. Capturing this tribal knowledge is essential for sustainability.
- Process Digitalization ≠ Automation: David's approach doesn’t replace people—it routes the right task to the right person at the right time.
- Rework Is the Most Expensive Work: A standardized, step-by-step workflow helps eliminate costly do-overs and improves quality control.
- Real Client Wins: One business owner went from 15-hour workdays to having his VA handle the workload in 4 hours—all by mapping and implementing the right workflow.
