Lack of strategic time
Entrepreneurs stuck in operations ('putting out fires') without time to plan and grow.

Lean structures without specialists in marketing, finance, or technology, compromising execution.
Gap between theory and execution
Difficulty in transforming strategic plans into actions and daily team routines.
Consulting ROI hardly measurable
