- No idea what to invest in next: You know your systems need work but have no clear order of what matters most or what it will cost.
- Tech that does not match your goals: Your technology choices are not connected to where the business is heading, so money goes to the wrong places.
- Budgets built on guesswork: Without a plan, every year of tech spending is a shot in the dark that often goes over.
