What is inefficiency?
Inefficiency in a business setting is characterized by a lack of optimization in processes, leading to wasted resources, time, or effort. It can stem from outdated practices, overcomplex procedures, or misalignment of resources with company goals.
What does inefficiency look like in an enterprise?
Inefficiency often manifests as prolonged project timelines, excess costs, and unproductive use of personnel or technology. In an enterprise, it might look like redundant tasks, cluttered workflows, or overstaffing, much like an overflowing bin of waste representing the squandering of potential.
