What’s happening Boards and CEOs are asking: How long from signal → resource reallocation?  Leading teams are measuring it and setting decision SLAs.

Why it matters A smart plan with slow decisions loses to an OK plan with fast decisions. Decision latency is now a leading indicator of strategic effectiveness.

What to do next week

  • Instrument one portfolio decision: timestamp signal, decision, move.

  • Set an SLA: ≤30 days for portfolio reallocations; ≤7 days for workflow-level tweaks.

  • Publish a monthly latency report to your LT, celebrate the fastest move.
