We often associate the cost of a decision with its risk.With its scale.With the visible skills it requires. But in organizations, the most costly decisions are often invisible.They are the ones that were postponed. A known issue, but never truly addressed.A tolerated imbalance.An organization that still works… but no longer sustainably. Over time, the cost is not financial.It is structural. Loss of room for maneuver.Growing dependence on a few key individuals.Decisions made under constraint, in urgency. What was not decided yesterday eventually imposes itself today.And at that point, it is no longer about choosing.It is about repairing. So the real question is not:“What is the right decision?”But rather:“What do I already know… and keep postponing to decide?” Fitch Bennett Partners
