Your best idea can fail quietly in the field. Nobody argues with it. Nobody pushes back in the meeting. They just do not use it. That silence can be expensive in franchising.

When compliance gets mistaken for commitment. Douglas A. Dwyer, CAPS, CFE, said it well on the Tell Me More podcast: You may have it 95% done, but their 5% can make all the difference.
