2026 Performance 🎯

• Issues tracked in 2026: 11
• Average latency: 11.4 days
• Improvement: 62.6% faster than historical average

🎯 Strategic Recommendations

1. Finance Domain Acceleration

Finance issues take 93 days avg - significantly longer than other domains. Consider:

• Dedicated finance decision-making cadence (weekly finance review)
• Pre-approved response playbooks for common cash flow issues
• Escalation paths for urgent financial decisions

2. Execution Follow-Through

6 decisions are stalled. Consider:

• Weekly 'stalled decisions' review in leadership meetings
• Clear ownership assignment for execution phase
• Accountability tracking (who owns execution?)

3. Address Systemic Battery Issues

This issue recurred 35 times across meetings. Consider:

• Root cause analysis session dedicated to this topic
• Investment in permanent solution vs. repeated firefighting
• Process/system change to prevent recurrence

4. Decision-Making Acceleration

These domains take longer to decide than to execute: hardware, operations
Consider:

• Decision-making frameworks (RACI, delegation levels)
• Reduce decision approval chains
• Empower domain owners to decide faster
