Friction Is More Than Resistance
Many change programs fight resistance while leaving the underlying system untouched. This article distinguishes friction from resistance and shows why redesigning workflows, tools, and coordination patterns is more powerful than motivating people to tolerate broken ways of working.

From Diagnosis to Value
Organizations invest heavily in assessments and readiness checks, but struggle to convert them into measurable outcomes. This article introduces a four phase approach that links friction diagnostics to focused interventions, value experiments, and a repeatable operating model for transformation.

The Four Dimensions of Transformation Friction
Friction builds across four dimensions: human, process, organizational, and ecosystem. This article provides a structured map of sixteen friction types and how they interact, giving leaders a common language to diagnose where transformation will stall before it appears in the P&L.

Frequently asked questions
Who is T4D and what do you actually do?
T4D is a boutique consulting firm that makes digital, cybersecurity and AI transformations frictionless and measurable – fast, secure, human-centered. We work with senior executives, program leaders and expert teams to expose real blockers, remove root causes, and prove impact with clear metrics.
In which areas do you help organizations most?
Clients usually come to us for one of five clusters: Transformation Advisory & Management, Transformation Enablement, Compliance Transformation, Cyber Security Controls Implementation, and AI Operating Model Enablement. Whether you are a CxO, program owner or domain expert, you will find a relevant entry point here.
How do engagements typically start?
Regardless of topic, we start with a short call (around 20 minutes) with our CEO, David Rohrberg, together with the relevant sponsor or program owner on your side. Based on this, we propose a short, fixed-scope engagement (e.g. 1-day workshop or 2–3 week sprint) tailored to your case – cyber, OT security, network, disaster recovery, HR, AI, or a Friction Management starter.
What do we get out of the first short engagement?
You receive a clear view of your current situation, 3–5 prioritized levers with owners and success metrics, and a 30/60-day action plan. This lets you evaluate fit and trust while already moving the needle – no matter if you are a CxO, program lead or specialist.
