A jailbreak in New Orleans becomes a sharp metaphor for what happens when creeping dysfunction goes unchecked inside a business.
In this episode, Maartje van Krieken unpacks the hidden costs of ignoring early warning signs in organizations. Broken locks. Budget cuts. Communication breakdowns. The kind of slow decay that builds quietly until a major crisis forces everyone to pay attention.
Using the lens of operational risk escalation, Maartje explains how small process failures can snowball into full business process failure, often without anyone noticing in time. Did you know it takes most organizations 84 days to spot a critical internal issue? And that only 5% of frontline insights ever reach leadership?
That gap in awareness is where risk lives. Maartje challenges leaders to think differently: What keeps your team up at night? What friction points have they stopped mentioning? And what’s the cost of waiting too long to act? Maartje shares ideas for closing that gap, like building a culture of trust, making time to “go and see,” and running a regular cleanup cadence to address issues before they grow roots. Because when dysfunction becomes normalized, your version of a jailbreak might already be underway.
