What’s the Cost of Doing Nothing?

When an organization considers adding new people, processes, or technology (or all of the above), the first knee-jerk questions are usually, “How difficult will this change be?” and “How much is this going to cost us?” But what if most organizations are looking at it all wrong?

Instead of asking how much it’ll cost to make a change or improvement, maybe we should be asking ourselves how much it will cost to stay the same: To do things the way we’ve always done them. If you’ve found yourself wondering the same thing, we’ve prepared this quick guide to demonstrate some of the very real costs of doing “business as usual.

Let’s counter the common perception that investing in change and optimization is the only thing that comes with a price tag. In reality, the cost of doing nothing can be quite high. And it only gets higher the longer you wait.
