Episode #51 - Metrics That Melt Silos
Description
When silos each chase their own scoreboard, organisations slow down. In this episode, Vishal explores how just five well-chosen measures can align entire enterprises around outcomes that matter. These “Friday Five” metrics shift the conversation from “my team delivered” to “our system must improve,” melting silos into collective accountability.
