􀀓 New hires take too long to become productive
􀀓 Analysis paralysis
􀀓 “Wait and see” attitude equals missed opportunities
􀀓 Culture clash, as if we are two organizations with different priorities
􀀓 Can’t find the right person in a hurry
􀀓 People don’t know who knows what
􀀓 Can’t touch the right information when you need it
􀀓 Project coordination is tedious and things fall through the cracks
􀀓 Re-invention of the same documents and processes over and over
􀀓 Not prepared for onslaught of digital natives
