BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Most founders track KPIs religiously, but still feel disconnected from what drives their business forward. The problem isn't the metrics. It's the gap between measurement and action. In this conversation, Mark sits down with Mary Adams, co-founder and CMO of Insights7, to explore how the Work to Value framework turns strategic vision into aligned daily execution.
Mary brings 30+ years of experience helping founders move from reactive reporting to proactive alignment. She breaks down why your business exists as a value creation system, how to map your GL to actual operations, and why AI will make organizational clarity necessary. Whether you're struggling to align your team around shared goals, finding your KPIs live in silos, or preparing for the agentic workforce revolution, this episode reveals the framework that turns dashboards into decisions.
