Execution Patterns We See Repeatedly

These are recurring failure modes inside otherwise competent organizations. If one feels familiar, that's not coincidence.

The Invisible Inventory Problem

Chronic stockouts and too much inventory at the same time.

•"We have plenty of stock — just not the right stuff."
•Weekly fire drills around the same SKUs.
•Finance and operations pushing in opposite directions.

The Over-Engineered System Failure

More tools. Less clarity. More manual work than before.

•Dashboards no one fully trusts.
•Work happening outside the system.
•Automation layered on unstable processes.

The Decision Bottleneck

Everything technically works — except decisions.

•Issues escalate instead of resolving.
•Leaders stay involved in the weeds.
•Meetings happen; outcomes don't.
