How organizations lose opportunities before they notice them
Most missed opportunities die upstream of any decision. They die in what gets routinely framed as 'not our problem'.
Most missed opportunities don't die at a decision meeting. They die earlier — in what gets routinely framed as 'not our problem,' 'not this quarter,' or 'interesting, but not actionable.'
