OM DENNE EPISODE
If you’re a data analyst (or an ops-minded founder) who keeps getting stuck in “fix the process” mode but suspects the real issue is bigger than a checklist, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Will Stewart, founder of Empower Core Solutions, to break down systems thinking in plain language: a process is linear, but a system is a living network of people, tools, feedback loops, and invisible bottlenecks.
We talk through how to spot the leverage point that actually changes outcomes (instead of polishing the wrong thing), and why “the data is clear” still isn’t enough if the human side isn’t accounted for.
Will also shares practical ways to diagnose operational chaos, improve decision-making, and communicate change so stakeholders don’t resist it, plus how to build systems that scale without you becoming the bottleneck.
