Description

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

In this episode of the Lean Solutions Podcast, Andy Olrich and Catherine McDonald explore what happens after the strategy day is over. Once goals are set, how do organizations move from planning to real execution? They highlight the challenges of managing too many goals and the necessity of engaging teams in the strategy process. 

They unpack why teams often struggle—not because they lack ideas—but because they have too many priorities and not enough clarity on where to start. The discussion focuses on practical frameworks for filtering, prioritizing, and executing goals in a way that aligns strategy with daily work.

Key Takeaways:

• Teams don’t struggle from a lack of ideas—they struggle from too many priorities.
• Don’t start where it’s exciting—start where it’s expensive.
• Use structure to remove subjectivity.
