What happens in companies with configurable products and services that suffer with ineffective systems and processes?
- Profit margins are very low as the cost of enabling “yes” is significant
- Inefficiencies mount as complexity and variety increases
- There is no flow–everything feels like start/stop/start/stop
- Things that should be easy are hard; things that are hard should be easy
- Everything is a “special”
Is this sustainable? No. It’s time for reinvention. Call me!
Thought for the week:
