Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Process Debt Podcast #27! Today we're reaching a significant milestone — half a year of enlightening discussions. This episode dives into the often unseen areas where process debt hides, disrupting organizations without being immediately apparent. We explore recurring patterns in organizational reorgs, the human tendency to address symptoms instead of root causes, and how executive-level decisions can sometimes miss the mark. We highlight the importance of not just identifying discomfort but also understanding its real cause. Real-world examples, from companies like IBM and Nokia to the hype around AI and sales strategies, illustrate how naming a problem or technological buzzwords don't replace substantive solutions. Discover insights on making thoughtful, gradual changes, the pitfalls in constantly shifting strategies, and why sometimes, the simplest solutions outshine the most complex tech fixes.
