01. Growth can no longer disguise organisational weakness
Scale has papered over fragile structures for years. That grace period is over.
02. Capacity and capability must be aligned

03. Margin pressure requires commercially aware leadership
Operational excellence alone no longer protects the P&L.
04. Differentiation must be visible through people and delivery
