Pushing aggressive timelines that outpace local bandwidth leads to burnout, errors, and corner-cutting, hurting deliverables. Misaligned pace can cut efficiency by 25% and cost $2 trillion annually across industries.

The alternative:
Identify actions that drain time and team energy, focus on high-impact work, and achieve results without unnecessary strain, especially as year-end approaches.
These are known as “De-Valuing Actions"
The UniHance dashboard doesn’t just reveal how actions connect to key metrics; it also highlights “devaluing actions”—those where the more effort you put in, the more they undermine results.
Common signals of these devaluing actions on our dashboards include:
High volume of low-impact tasks
Frequent task switching (high percentage of incomplete actions)
Repeated rework
Slow response to core priorities
By identifying and eliminating devaluing actions, teams can accept timelines with purpose and focus on what truly adds value, accelerating past redundancies to achieve real impact:
Increase efficiency by up to 25%—focus on high-impact work
Save $750K annually per team—fewer errors and rework
Decrease task-switching by 30%—more uninterrupted focus
Improve metrics alignment by 40%—every action contributes to measurable outcomes
