The constraints are not always easily evident, unfortunately.

There are clearly other constraints involved that we don’t know.

True, sometimes the constraints are so big that no matter what's done it's impossible to succeed.

When the hard constraint is not losing profit, many things are difficult to do.

Sure – and fail to meet their constraints

Sure, I'm not saying it isn't surmountable. I'm just stating that this is another constraint.

More often than not it's "couldn't due to resource constraints".

We don't have that now (and never have). There are always constraints on what we can do.

What are some of the difficulties?

I agree with your point, but I've personally also experienced the reverse as well - having very difficult constraints while being extremely motivated and well funded has often resulted in extremely innovative solutions. All of my examples are classified, sadly.

Constraints are often linked to a lack of courage. People prefer to defend themselves more than what they do. They prefer to complain more than actually solve problems..

gruseom | karma 30328 | avg karma 5.54 · | 2009-09-19 05:42:08+00:00

I agree. It's not possible to run it without being constrained by it.

They are constrained to problems with annual results though.

Do you have some examples of limitations they faced?

It's often inconvenient and rarely impossible.

And given _unclear_ requirements, you should be able to ask the right questions to make them clear. This is probably a harder barrier to overcome.

That's easy enough. It's finding the right restrictions that are hard. That's the whole point of the article above, it's not a bad read.

No matter what lofty heights you achieve you're never really free of external constraints.

Financial capacity can be an obstacle.

On the other hand, the behavior that is largely responsible for the difference may also make the technical challenge more difficult.
