You know this feeling... Your team has a brilliant idea that could solve a real customer problem. Everyone agrees it makes complete sense. But then it gets tangled up in approval chains, departmental politics, conflicting KPIs, and "that's not how we do things here." Six months later, the idea is either dead or so watered down it barely resembles the original insight. This isn't bad leadership or lazy teams. It's organizational dysfunction disguised as "best practices." That's where Value-First comes in...but what is it? It's about removing the real barriers that kill common-sense decisions: • Approval paralysis • Departmental turf wars • Process bureaucracy • KPI misalignment • Risk aversion culture • Technology complexity • Meeting overhead • Information hoarding Join the 10-Day Series Starting TODAY We're breaking down each organizational trap with expert practitioners in 30-minute daily conversations: • June 2nd - The AI Replacement Trap with Nick Lafakis • June 3rd - The Leads Trap with George B.
