Has anyone else struggled with conflicting objectives or goals across other parts of your organization? It seems like year after year, what we try to accomplish and manage is impacted by goals in another area, which tend to make sense in a vacuum, that offset some of the work we're doing. How do you manage that in a large company?

S&OP at its finest
- Sales is told to sell more and differentiated
- Operations is told to reduce costs and streamline operations (but there’s more complexity and higher volumes)
- Planning is told to reduce inventory, plan more efficiently to reduce changeovers, and meet all orders (but there’s once again more SKU complexity, higher demand, and they have to always respond to whatever events or new product introductions are created)

They each have goals that don’t align with one another and if we worked together we could make so much money and save so much money, but that never happens 😂

I feel like we're doing the same job :) Have you found any tips or suggestions for managing? Seems like it's always a game of give/take, or push/pull...for me it's going on 20+ years now and there's always been this disconnect.

If you had 2 mortgages at the exact same interest rate (1 is a 15 year and the other is a 30 year), does it make sense to put extra payments (say 400 per month) towards one or the other? Looking at it purely from a $ perspective in the long term (not psychological where You prepay the lower balance quicker to ultimately have only one loan).

15 year loan - 125k balance (renting this property out)
30 year loan - 400k balance (looking to buy this property soon)
