Systems Sprints are short, focused builds where you step out of the day-to-day work and design one specific system - properly.
Each sprint focuses on a single systems layer, so you can slow things down just enough to:
These sprints are practical, contained, and designed to fit real working lives - not endless optimisation projects.
Systems Sprint: File and Found
Design a file and folder structure you can rely on

🕙 10am AEST each day

What if you could finally stop wondering where that file went -
and leave on Thursday with a structure you trust to make everything findable, every time?
In this Systems Sprint, we'll focus on the file and folder layer of our systems.
Across three live 90-minute sessions, you'll audit what you've got, make the structural decisions that matter, and build a clear, logical setup that supports how you actually work.
I'll be on screen with you the whole way, guiding the process and showing you exactly how to implement it - step by step.
All sessions are recorded and shared with registered participants.
You can join me live or register to watch the replay.
Either way, you'll be guided through the full process and leave with a system you can rely on.
Registration is $149 AUD (inc. GST).
Numbers are intentionally capped to keep this sprint focused and interactive.

What's included in the sprint
✅ Live step-by-step sessions: I'll walk you through each decision and action in real time. Everything is recorded so you can revisit any part of the process.
✅ Dedicated build time: You'll implement the system during the sprint, with support - not as "homework" afterwards.
✅ A comprehensive sprint workbook: A clear, repeatable guide you'll use across the three days to audit, decide, and build. Yours to keep and reuse.
✅ Daily resources and references: Everything I demonstrate on screen is linked and shared so you're not scrambling to keep track of it all.
✅ Access to the replays: All sessions are saved into your Team space so you can pause, revisit, and implement at your own pace if needed.
Most System Sprints are built using Microsoft 365, because it offers the flexibility and structure this kind of work needs. The system principles we use apply regardless of platform - so your thinking holds, even as tools change.
Not just training. Actual implementation.
The Systems Sprint is a roll-up-your-sleeves, build-it-with-me experience designed to help you design one system properly - and walk away actually using it.
💡 No more staring at a broken setup wondering where to start: every decision is made in order, with guidance, so you're not guessing or circling back.
🧠 Understand the logic behind the structure: not just what to do, but why it works - so you can repeat the process confidently in future.
👩💻 Build in real time, on screen, alongside me: I'll demonstrate using Microsoft 365, but the system itself holds regardless of platform.
🎯 Leave with a structure you can reuse: for new clients, new projects, or new systems - without starting from scratch each time.
⌛ Stop working around your setup: no more double-handling or workarounds. You'll have a system that holds, even when things get busy.
Systems Sprint is about clarity, confidence, and finishing what you start.
Come in with a mess. Leave with a system.
I’m Marianne Tansley (or Maz), a systems strategist with a long career spent inside the engine rooms of other people’s businesses.
I worked as an Executive Assistant for over two decades, navigating complex roles, evolving tools and systems that were meant to help - but often didn’t. That experience taught me what actually holds up over time, and what quietly creates friction.
These days, I help people design practical, human‑centred systems that support focused work - not constant fixing or workarounds.
The Systems Sprint is about building that kind of foundation.
Clear. Workable. Built to last.
If you're ready to put something solid in palce, you'll be very welcome here..
