Do your plans stand strong when things go wrong?

  • Understanding Graceful Degradation: Why it's important to fail-safe your business plan to avoid collapse in a crisis.
    • Visionary Planning: How a clear, unconstrained vision can guide decision-making as challenges arise.
      • Making Smart Compromises: Ensuring each step aligns closely with your core vision, even when the ideal path is impossible.

        • This episode is packed with great advice for anyone looking to enhance their decision-making framework and ensure their business remains agile and resilient.

        Tune in to learn how to protect your vision and make pragmatic choices in the face of adversity.
