The Alignment Tax: When Judgment Doesn't Scale

Josh Liberson, CEO

1 minute

Your best people know things they can’t write down. When that judgment doesn’t make it into the work, teams follow the rules but still miss the mark.

It looks like this:

→ You've had the same conversation three times this month.
→ A good person left and took their knowledge with them.
→ You're still in every meeting because the work comes back wrong when you're not.


This isn't a series of isolated problems. It's a systemic issue with a name: the Alignment Tax. It's the hidden cost every company pays when its processes scale, but its judgment doesn't.


A new white paper from Dobbin CEO, Josh Liberson, on why your best judgment isn't getting into the work, and what to do about it.
