Totally agree. I've definitely felt that shift too, especially in R&D. It seems like every new initiative, even promising ones, is under a microscope. There's a lot more emphasis on clear ROI timelines and potential market impact from the get-go. Makes sense in the current climate, but it does add a different kind of pressure to the day-to-day.
I've noticed it as well, though perhaps from a slightly different angle in my area. It's less about direct project pressure and more about how cross-functional teams are being asked to prioritize. It feels like we're being pushed to make tougher choices about where to focus our collective energy and budget, which can be a challenge when many things seem important.
