A Marketing team that is focused on tactical solutions:
- Marketing staff constantly being asked to stop working on a project due to changing priorities, subsequently impacting all project deadlines.
- The staff is focused on program specific duties and are unable to create or implement a marketing strategy.
- The staff can’t provide an “outsider’s” perspective, or are unable to drive the business forward
(i.e. increase revenues).
An Information Technology team that is too focused on their technology or "project-of-the-day".
This can manifest itself with:
- The IT person / team jumping from one technology to another (ex: Java to .NET to C++) so they
can learn the latest software and technology. - The IT team spends the vast majority of their time on fire-fighting and "today's project / report"
- ERP or back-office software that is poorly understood and/or not delivering value to the users or management.
- Little coordination with the senior business leaders to understand the strategic IT needs of the organization.
- The key information sources running the business are mostly a web of spreadsheets.
