Building the missing links between Strategy and Operations
summary
Argues that agility fails when fixes stop at team boundaries and shows concrete alternatives: visualize end-to-end flow from idea to value, use boards (Trello/Jira) and a Flight Levels map to connect flight levels: strategy coordination operations, measure that lead times are often 12–36 months while active work is only weeks, and run experiments that quantify hypotheses before rollout, prioritize a clear #1 so dependencies unblock — gives a course and books for the mechanics.
