"Now Isn’t the Right Time"—Or Is It?

"Now Isn’t the Right Time"—Or Is It?

One of the most common objections we hear is:

‍
"We’re going through too much change—an AWS migration, a major transformation—let’s wait until things settle."

‍

It sounds reasonable at first. After all, major projects bring disruption, and it might seem like a bad time to add another initiative to the mix. But here’s the reality: change is constant. If you wait for the "perfect moment," you may end up waiting forever.

Why "Later" Rarely Comes

Technology leaders know that major programmes of work never truly "end"—they evolve. By the time one transformation finishes, another has begun. The landscape is always shifting, and new priorities emerge before old ones are fully wrapped up.

‍

If you are just one week away from a major release, then yes, timing matters. But if you are in the middle of a multi-month or multi-year programme, now is exactly when you need insights the most.

Clarity When It Matters Most

StackUp exists to help organisations navigate complexity. When everything is in motion—when decisions are being made, risks are being taken, and the future is being shaped—that’s when you need visibility, benchmarking, and a clear strategy to guide you.

‍

Rather than waiting for stability, leverage StackUp to:

‍
✅ Gain real-time insights into your technology function during transformation
✅ Benchmark your progress against best practices and industry peers
✅ Identify risks early to prevent costly missteps
✅ Ensure alignment between technology initiatives and business goals

Change Isn’t a Reason to Pause—It’s the Reason to Start

Waiting until things "settle" often means delaying progress indefinitely. Instead of viewing change as a reason to hold off, recognise it as the best moment to assess where you are, where you are headed, and what adjustments are needed.

If your organisation is in motion, now is the time to make sure you are moving in the right direction. 🚀
