Poor project execution often manifests as an 'invisible tax' that affects organizational efficiency. Projects can stagnate due to delays in approvals, lack of standardized processes, and overburdened team members. These issues contribute to the phenomenon of 'zombie projects,' which seem active but are actually stalled. The impacts include stalled initiatives that inhibit growth, redundant workloads that waste time, and the burnout of high-performing employees due to chaotic operations. Traditional management tools like spreadsheets exacerbate these problems, leading to further inefficiencies.
"It's the approval that should have happened in step one but didn't surface until step five. It's teams reinventing wheels because business processes aren't standardized."
"These aren't dramatic failures that make headlines. They're the quiet erosions of momentum that compound over time, creating what I call 'zombie projects' - initiatives that appear alive on the surface but are fundamentally stalled underneath."
