How to Reduce Service Delivery Time (Lead Time) in 2026

In the age of immediacy, customers prefer a "very good today" service over a "perfect in two weeks" one. Lead Time is the customer's clock: it starts when they order and ends when they receive. Reducing this time is the superpower of scalable companies.

Where does time hide?

Most Lead Time isn't spent doing the work; it's spent waiting. The contract waits for signature, the design waits for approval, the invoice waits for typing. You don't need to work faster; you need to reduce waiting queues.
