Strong IT service management runs on repeatable processes, not heroics. This guide gives you eight free ITIL process templates you can run in Process Street right away, covering everything from incident, problem, and change management through to continual service improvement, so your team handles IT work the same reliable way every time.

ITIL, the Information Technology Infrastructure Library, is the most widely used framework for IT service management. It organizes the practices that keep IT services aligned with the needs of the business, from logging an incident to reviewing a change after it ships, and it is the backbone of first-class IT service management in most enterprises and government agencies.

If you have spent any time on social media over the past decade, you have almost certainly spoken to at least one synthetic person without realizing it. Probably more than one. Platforms purge fake accounts by the hundreds of thousands, and in 2024 researchers exposed coordinated influence operations that used AI chatbots to churn out posts, comments, and fake personas in several languages at once.

This is what propaganda looks like now. You picture propaganda as kitschy, cartoonish posters from the 1940s, and once upon a time you would have been right. Modern propaganda is almost entirely digital, and nowhere near as easy to spot.

Business efficiency means producing the same or better output with less wasted time, money, effort, and rework. That sounds simple until you look at how work actually happens: repeated handoffs, unclear process ownership, buried documentation, and tools that were never built to run recurring work.

To get past the usual surface-level advice, I spoke with Jerilynne Knight, better known as MamaRed. She has spent 30 years helping companies systemize their work, from teams of 10 people to large American corporations, and she has seen the same pattern over and over: businesses waste resources through avoidable process failures, then hesitate to invest in fixing them.

Office management is the operating layer most teams notice only when it breaks. Records need to be disposed of correctly, safety checks need follow-up, conflict needs a neutral process, performance reviews need documentation, and budgets need approval before spending drifts.

These eight office management checklists turn recurring admin work into repeatable workflows you can run, assign, track, and improve in Process Street. Use them as office manager checklists, office administration checklists, or office procedures checklists when you need practical templates that support astounding operational efficiency without relying on memory.

Enterprise collaboration software is the connective tissue between chat, meetings, files, projects, and recurring work. Without it, enterprise teams do not collaborate; they scatter decisions across messages, documents, calls, and spreadsheets.

The right stack gives people one reliable way to communicate, share context, track work, and prove that important processes were completed. Below are the enterprise collaboration tools that matter most, organized by the job they do.

Pre-boarding is the work that happens after a candidate accepts your offer and before their first day. It is where HR, IT, finance, the hiring manager, and the new hire all get aligned before the onboarding clock starts.

These must-know strategies for pre-boarding new hires help you turn that waiting period into a structured process: paperwork completed, access prepared, expectations set, managers ready, and the new hire confident before day one.

The best SharePoint alternatives get the job done without forcing every document, workflow, intranet page, and approval into one oversized Microsoft workspace. SharePoint can be powerful, but it often asks operations teams to accept heavy administration before the work itself becomes easier.

This list focuses on practical alternatives to SharePoint for teams that need document management, team knowledge, workflow automation, or a cleaner intranet experience. Some tools are better for storage, some are better for collaborative editing, and some are better for turning procedures into repeatable work.

Reboarding is what you do when an employee comes back after an extended absence, changes role due to promotion or restructuring, or returns to a company that has changed enough that old habits no longer fit.

Successfully reboarding employees is not the same as onboarding. New hires need the basics; returning employees need context, confidence, refreshed expectations, and a clear path back into the team. If you want the broader first-day version, use this employee onboarding process guide alongside this reboarding plan.

“Where do you see yourself in five years?”

We’ve all heard this question before in interviews. It’s one that most people (myself included) aren’t particularly fond of.

Account management is the operating system for long-term customer success. After the initial sale, the account manager has to understand the customer, protect the relationship, coordinate handoffs, spot expansion opportunities, and prevent churn without letting small follow-ups fall through the cracks.

These eight account management checklists cover competitive analysis, company research, sales presentations, monthly reporting, forecasting, sales-to-service handoff, SaaS upselling, and churn prevention. Use them as standalone templates or connect them inside account management software so every owner, approval, form field, and follow-up is tracked in one place.
