Work Isn't Working — Chris Gore
Why Most Companies Get Workplace Technology WrongThe 5-Step FixBy Chris Gore, Founder of SPOR Group
Sound familiar?

IT’S TIME YOUR WORKPLACE ACTUALLY WORKED.

You find out a meeting room is broken when a senior leader emails you about the client presentation that fell apart in it. Your monitoring system is complaints.

You’ve been asked to “do something about productivity” since the company went hybrid. You still don’t have an answer you’d stake your job on.

You’re managing 20 to 80 meeting rooms and genuinely don’t know which hardware is quietly failing, or which spaces nobody touches because the camera angle is terrible.

You bought the full Microsoft 365 stack. You’re using about 30% of it. Every few weeks there’s a feature announcement. You think “I should look into that.” You never do.

If someone asked you to justify renewing the AV maintenance contract, you’d struggle. You know it’s worth it. You just can’t prove it on a spreadsheet.

You find out about faults when someone complains. That is your monitoring system. A complaint. In an email. After the meeting has already happened.

None of this is incompetence. It’s what happens when organisations treat technology like furniture. Buy it. Install it. Forget it.

Why other approaches fail

You’ve Tried. It Hasn’t Worked. Here’s Why.

The ProblemVendor support tickets

Designed to close tickets, not solve problems. No incentive to understand your environment deeply enough to catch intermittent faults. They respond to what’s reported. You don’t always know what to report until someone’s already complained.

The ProblemMicrosoft usage reports

They measure activity, not outcomes. They tell you who’s clicking and who isn’t. You were answering a business question with a tool built for a different one entirely.

The ProblemThe vendor roadshow

You left with intentions and walked back into an inbox. Nobody handed you a next step that fitted into your actual week. Inspiration without implementation is just a sandwich and a tote bag.

The ProblemReseller advice

The advice will always point toward a purchase. That’s not a criticism — it’s a structural conflict. You need someone whose answer might sometimes be: “you don’t need to buy anything, configure what you’ve already got.”

The ProblemGoogling it

Ten articles on monitoring employee productivity. Not one that tells you clearly, given your size, your licensing, your HR setup, exactly what to do and why. Everything is caveated into uselessness.

The framework

Work Isn’t Working Introduces DITAM

Five disciplines. One operating system. The framework your workplace has been missing.

01 / Design

Technology decisions connected to how your people actually work

Not how the vendor demo assumed they would work. Before anything gets specced, designed, or purchased.

02 / Integrate

Every component working as a system, not bolted together afterwards

Video, audio, room booking, and network designed to function together.

03 / Train

Adoption that actually happens — not a one-hour session on go-live day

Rooms that were avoided because people didn’t trust them start appearing in booking data again.

04 / Asset Manage

A refresh is a scheduled event, not a crisis

Finance teams get a forward view. Budgets become predictable. CFO conversations become easier.

05 / Monitor

Know what’s happening in your estate now — not when someone complains

Faults caught before anyone walks into the room. The complaint never happens.

The Result

A workplace that works consistently, every day

Whether you’re fitting out a new building or inheriting an estate in trouble.

Nobody has joined those five things up before. Not a reseller, not a vendor, not a consultant — each disappears at a different point. DITAM closes the gap permanently.

What’s in the book

What You Get

The author

Why This Book, Why Now

Spent years in the military. Left with systems thinking, intolerance for unnecessary chaos, and a low threshold for things being done badly when they could be done properly.

Moved into AV and workplace technology. Kept seeing the same problems repeat across every client, every budget, every building.

The specific moment: standing in a boardroom watching a senior leader in front of a room full of people while the screen wouldn’t connect and the camera was offline. Nobody knew it was broken until someone was already embarrassed. That kept happening. Everywhere.

Organisations don’t have a technology problem. They have a deployment problem. The kit works. What’s missing is a system for everything that happens before the install, during it, and for the years after the van drives away. SPOR was built to fill that gap.

FAQs

Questions People Actually Ask

Who is this book for?
IT Directors, Heads of Technology, and business leaders at UK organisations with 200 to 2,000 employees responsible for workplace technology. If you own the tech stack and you’re held accountable for it, this is for you.
Is this theory, or does it apply to my environment?
Applied, not theoretical. The DITAM framework was built on the ground, across real estates, with real constraints. It works whether you’re managing 20 rooms or 200.
We’ve already got a support contract with our reseller. What does this add?
The framework doesn’t replace your reseller. It gives you the lens to evaluate what they’re actually delivering and the language to have better conversations about what’s missing.
We’re not a big corporate. Is this relevant to us?
The framework was specifically built for organisations in the middle. If you have 20 to 80 meeting rooms and you’re the person responsible for them, this is written for you.
When does the book launch?
It’s currently with publishers. Waitlist members will be the first to know the launch date.
What if I don’t have the time or team to implement this?
The framework is built around what one person can own and drive. It doesn’t require headcount. It requires a clear operating system — which is what DITAM gives you.
I’ve been burned by vendors before. Why is this different?
This is a book, not a managed service contract. You’re not entering into a commitment. The decision about how to use the framework is yours.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Joining the waitlist is free. If the book turns out not to be relevant, unsubscribe. One click, nothing lost.
