In this episode, we get hands-on with diagnosing silos. Vishal walks you through mapping a real customer or risk journey, separating work from waits using value stream mapping, and applying Little’s Law to ground the numbers. Backed by decades of research in lean, queueing theory, and even lessons from healthcare handoffs, this episode gives you a clear method to uncover where speed is lost and silos silently form.
