Stop paving the cow path and start building systems that actually scale. Most businesses think they are digitally transforming, but they are often just industrializing chaos by automating broken, manual workflows. Speeding up a flawed process does not fix the problem; it simply compounds your organizational debt.
In this detailed session, Miracle Peters breaks down the 24-month cliff where technical debt costs triple if left unmanaged. We are moving from a world of manageable human error to high-speed systemic failure. This video provides a framework to stop scaling inefficiency and start building structural integrity within your Microsoft 365 environment.
You will discover the mirage of speed and how creation bias leads makers to prioritize quick builds over long-term stability. We also explore the technical debt ratio framework, which allows you to quantify the cost of shortcuts using hard financial data that leadership respects. Learn why citizen development without guardrails is not empowerment, but rather the distribution of risk across your entire tenant.
