Progress is slower than anticipated.
The implementation is not fast enough.
The new business is not growing as planned.
The weight is not dropping quick enough.
The culture change is sluggish.
The business is taking time to turn around.
The recovery is slowing.
Still …
Progress has been continual.
There is forward movement.
Always advancement.
Constantly making headway.
It has not stalled.
Which is better than no progress at all.
