Decision Debt
What it costs to keep deciding later
by Desmond Achebe (1) Read reviews
Every deferred decision leaves a balance. This is a practical account of how those balances accumulate and what clears them.

Teams rarely fail because they decided wrongly. They fail because they deferred, and then deferred again, until the decision was made for them by circumstance.
Drawing on twenty years in manufacturing and logistics, Desmond Achebe sets out how deferred decisions accumulate into a measurable operational cost, and what actually clears them. Short, practical, and organised around the reader's Tuesday rather than the author's framework.
Desmond Achebe
Desmond Achebe has spent twenty years inside manufacturing and logistics businesses, mostly in the rooms where difficult calls get made. He writes about decision-making under uncertainty for people who have to do it on a Tuesday morning rather than in a case study.
He published independently because he wanted the book to exist in time for a specific programme he was running, and stayed independent because he liked controlling the revisions.
