#bureaucraticsludge becomes the default IF exceptional culture, ownership and vision are not present. And it all starts with leadership!
So bear with me here...
Both business and sustainability problems are efficiency problems,
that stem from people problems.
1) The more efficiently the business runs, the more profit you make.
2) Likewise with more sustainable outcomes, the more efficient your in to output process; less waste, energy, emissions incurred etc.
These move only as fast people's ability to capture data, make decisions, execute, evaluate, adapt etc.
People are both the bottleneck, and the multiplier.
How you lead, nurture and show up impacts all the above.
Keep it up!
