Inefficiency: The Silent Tax Killing Profit and Scale | The Disruptors #5

The Disruptors Season 1 Episode 5

If inefficiency is a tax, most businesses are quietly going broke.

In this episode #5 of The Disruptors, Ritesh Shah and Julian Wallis unpack how hidden inefficiencies — like relying on spreadsheets, manual workarounds, and disconnected systems — silently drain profit, block scale, and erode enterprise value.

They explain why these inefficiencies often go unnoticed, how PSV Thinking™ reframes the problem, and what it actually takes to fix the foundations — not just patch the symptoms.

Whether you're trying to double your business or just get your house in order, this episode gives you the lens and language to spot where you're bleeding cash and how to stop it.

When you treat inefficiency as a tax, you start to see the leaks everywhere — and that’s the first step to stopping them. This episode breaks down what it really takes to fix the root, not just the symptoms.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:
● Inefficiency is a hidden tax on your bottom line, scale, and exit potential.
● Most businesses mistake digitising for systemising.
● Spreadsheets are the symptom, not the system.
● AI is only valuable when built on clean, structured operations.
● Fix the root, not the surface — and build your EdgeFactor™ properly.
