Your Next Hire Should Be a Systems Champion

Your next hire should be a systems champion, especially if you’re an architect drowning in day-to-day operations. In this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage talks with David Jenyns, founder of Systemology and author of Systems Champion. David explains why architects must build systems that work without them and how a dedicated systems champion can transform the way a small firm runs. He also shares why systemization feels hard for creatives, and how to make it simpler and more sustainable.

David and Mark break down the mindset shift required to step out of daily production. They also explore the role accountability plays in keeping systems alive, not just documented. Because AI is now part of every firm’s workflow, David outlines simple ways to use it to make systems easier to create and maintain. The conversation feels practical, encouraging, and rooted in real-world firm experience.

By the end, you’ll know where to start, what to delegate first, and how a systems champion can unlock more time, profit, and clarity in your business. You’ll also gain tools to empower your team, improve consistency, and build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. This is a must-listen for any architect ready to scale with less stress and more intention.
