Work continues to move. Teams remain active. More is getting done.
But the outcomes do not strengthen in the same way.
Work keeps moving, but progress does not accumulate. Projects feel active, but progress keeps slipping. Each cycle depends on fresh effort rather than carrying forward what was already achieved.
This is where execution drift begins to show up — often before delivery is recognised as off track.
Output increases, but the position does not improve. Teams stay busy, but outcomes are not moving. Work restarts, even though delivery appears to continue.
This is also where decision drift begins to form — where the decisions needed to make outcomes hold start arriving too late to support delivery.
Capacity is being consumed without strengthening the outcome. Coordination increases. The underlying build does not hold.
If left as it is, this becomes harder to recover later.
If this is happening, it often shows up where work continues, but does not build — it often shows up where work keeps moving but progress does not build.
Where is work continuing but not building — and what is that already costing you this week?
