Missed Tasks and Disconnected Coordination

Dickinson Cameron needed to reduce missed tasks and strengthen day-to-day coordination between field and office teams. When responsibility is unclear and updates are not shared consistently, important work can slip through the cracks and rework risk increases. Dickinson Cameron wanted a system that organized tasks clearly, made ownership obvious, and improved collaboration across roles. They also needed real-time visibility so teams could stay aligned as conditions changed. The goal was fewer missed items, stronger follow-through, and a more dependable coordination rhythm supported by current, shared information.
