Approval Automation: Eliminating the Boss Bottleneck in 2026
The "Boss Bottleneck" happens when the director insists on approving everything, from buying a pen to a million-dollar contract. This stalls the company. Approval Automation distributes authority based on clear business rules.
Approval by Exception
The rule should be: "If it's within budget and rules, the system approves. If not, the boss looks."
- Up to $500: Automatic Approval (if budget exists).
- From $500 to $5,000: Manager Approval.
- Above $5,000: Director Approval.
