Your organization has a problem that it hasn’t yet figured out how to solve.
And you don’t have years of related experience to draw from.
Or loads of cash.
Or an extra staff person.
But that doesn’t mean that you can’t tackle the issue.
I don’t have enough time/money/people/experience.’ Stop whining! Constraints are advantages in disguise. Limited resources force you to make do with what you’ve got. There’s no rook for waste. And that forces you to be creative. —ReWork, chapter Progress, by Fried and Hansson
Though you may see the constraints that your organization face as disadvantages, Fried and Hansson argue that they are just the opposite. Constraints force our minds to think outside of the box, looking for new and innovative ways to overcome the various issues that inevitably and consistently arise.
So instead of looking for more and more resources, use the creativity God has given you (and your team). In the long run (and I’d argue in the short run, too), you’ll be better off.
