Operational scalability

What are some existing human or infrastructure limitations on scalability?

Summary

Designing a scalable economic model isn’t enough if you can’t scale up your operations to meet demand.
A significant number of operational issues arise simply because of human limitations. As much as we might wish that we and our colleagues could work tirelessly and seamlessly, regardless of the scale of the organization, the fact is that growth causes us to trip over a wide array of issues.
It doesn’t matter how much demand you generate if your infrastructure can’t handle it.
