Same. Where actually, the budget is right there, it's just a matter of choice and priorities: do what's right now or invest 10x in it later because you didn't take care of it when you ought to.
I've been on both sides of the argument: "budget" is a magic word for those who want to skip responsibility for their choices.
- ownagefool 5y agoYes and no. Sometimes the budget is yours sometimes you're sitting in meetings upon meetings with someone else deciding there's no immediate ROI so no budget for you. So sure, the company is always to blame, but unless we're arguing the individual was not convincing enough, the person citing budget may not be choosing alone where to allocate it. On the bright side, inefficient companies leave the market open for the rest of us. :)
