Why everyone knows it’s burning, but nobody pulls the fire alarm: When I talk to OT managers, production leads or plant engineers, I rarely hear, “We didn’t know we had a problem.” Far more often, it’s, “We know it’s critical, but we can’t just shut it down.” This gap between awareness and action is the…
