Introduction: The Business Imperative
In a world buzzing with jargon like "digital transformation," let's slice through the fluff. As someone leading in an F&B delivery platform, I can tell you that the real game-changer isn't just the menu our partners offer; it's the logistics and technology that make those menus accessible. And in the corporate world, those logistics and technology are orchestrated by your engineers.
?? Are You Investing in Your Logistics Experts?
Would you trust a novice to manage a high-stakes, high-speed delivery network? Probably not. Then why do the same with your engineering team? According to McKinsey, companies that invest in engineering excellence can see up to a 20% increase in customer engagement. That's like turning a regular delivery route into the most efficient and customer-friendly experience in town, all thanks to your logistics—err, engineering—geniuses.
Engineers: The Logistics Experts of Your Business Network
In my day-to-day, orders and logistics are the currency I deal in. So, let me put it in those terms: Imagine your engineering team as the logistics experts in a high-stakes, high-speed delivery network. They're not just moving boxes; they're ensuring that every order reaches its destination in the most efficient and customer-friendly manner possible.
Technical Debt: The Sneaky Culprit
However, even the most efficient logistics can be hampered by what we in the tech world call "technical debt." It's like having a super-fast delivery vehicle that hasn't been serviced in years. Sure, it runs, but for how long? And at what cost? Ignoring technical debt is like ignoring maintenance; it will catch up with you, slowing down deliveries and affecting customer satisfaction.
?? What's Your Strategy for Technical Debt?
Just like you wouldn't ignore a squeaky wheel on a delivery truck, you can't afford to ignore technical debt in your engineering processes. What's your strategy for keeping things running smoothly?
The Perils of Ignoring Technical Debt
Ignoring technical debt is akin to neglecting maintenance in a logistics network. Gartner says companies that don't fully leverage their engineering talent could see a 25% slower growth rate. That's like leaving a faster, more efficient route undiscovered.
?? Are You Overlooking the Maintenance of Your Engineering Logistics?
If you're not giving your engineers the space to address technical debt, you're essentially running a risk of breakdowns in your logistics. Are you okay with that?
