Full Time (but often delayed) Seats at the Table

Critical functions are often ignored with severe consequences encountered later.

There are several roles that are essential but are mistakenly put off or ignored, often until it is too late.  The most common reasons are the focus on short-term revenue and the related issue of limited funds to support other areas.  Delaying some of these roles and leaving empty seats at the Inside Table may be necessary.  However, those decisions need to be made consciously and carefully, weighing the consequences of not making room at the Table.
