The Condition
The decision keeps moving, but it never lands.
One team raises a concern.
Another asks for alignment.
A third escalates for sign-off.
It comes back with questions.
Conditions shift.
The data updates.
The moment passes.
No one refuses to decide.
No one clearly can.
Everyone is acting responsibly.
No one feels authorised.
The decision bounces between teams, functions, and forums, accumulating commentary but not ownership.
By the time it reaches the top, it is no longer a decision.
It is a problem.
