Operational Debt is the silent killer of business 🤐🔪 How much is it costing you?
My definition: People, process, system, and strategy compromises made by fast-growing businesses and startups to "just get it done".
Symptoms of operational debt include (but are not limited to):
⏰ You have no time.
📉 Inconsistent profits and/or impact.
🙈 No visibility into the status of projects.
😠 Customers are unhappy or don't come back.
🤔 Priorities always change. Trying to hit a moving target.
