What do the following have in common?
- Bank overdraft
- Cancer
- Automobile brake failure
- Cyber-intrusion
- Disgruntled employee
In each of these situations, early detection of the problem is important.
Early detection of cancer increases the chances of recovery. Early detection of a bank overdraft minimizes charges. Early detection of brake failure may save your life. Early detection of a cyber-intrusion can minimize your losses. Early detection of a disgruntled employee can prevent all sorts of problems.
You will never know there is a problem if you aren’t willing to put out the effort to watch for the early signs. If you aren’t watching for the early signs, the problems will continue to get worse.
Just ask the teenager who doesn’t balance his checkbook!
