Problem with complexity
It makes dependencies really tricky to identify.
So a project (rate of progress) monitor is required.
However if that tool doesn’t give you a true sense of completion.
Then the current state is not fully understood.
Significant new initiatives fail to deliver intended benefits.
Importantly consequences on current operations cannot be predicted.
Jeopardising reliable supply of fundamental product.
Tolerance in market to supply uncertainty results in high switching impacts.
Return to preferred supplier status can consume 12-24months and significant resources.
It’s a financial killer.
Certainly stops releasing capital to the research and development function;
Assuming the taxing corporate overhead leaves much behind.
