discovered something that keeps 73% of IT teams stuck in reactive mode.

It's called the "Tech Debt Doom Loop."

On Episode 348 of You've Been Heard, Mark breaks down:

• Why traditional governance models create more problems than 
  they solve
• The 3-phase framework that reduced his team's incidents by 40%
• How to get executive buy-in when everyone's focused on features
• The #1 mistake IT leaders make when trying to pay down tech debt

This conversation is a masterclass in organizational transformation.

Claim verified in transcript
