Description: Most companies chasing a big growth target are solving the wrong problem. And the real constraint is usually hiding in plain sight.In this episode of KPI Fireside, host Keith Norris sits down with John Hetherington, founder of We Deliver Your Vision and a process optimization consultant with more than 25 years of experience helping CFOs and COOs turn ambitious boardroom targets into measurable operational results. John started his career at Deloitte and Ernst and Young, leading large-scale finance transformation programs before building his own firm around one simple idea: find the single constraint holding your operation back, remove it, and prove the business result actually improved.🔻 Why the first thing a company thinks is broken almost never is the real constraint 🔻 Why automating a bad process with AI just helps you fail faster at larger scale 🔻 How to use three metrics instead of ten to actually hit your growth target 🔻 How to apply the three R's to decide whether a process is actually ready for AI 🔻 Why asking "how are you feeling about this?" is one of the most powerful questions in operations 🔻 How to manage AI like a new hire instead of handing it the keys to everything at once💬 Comment "flow" on this episode to receive John's free five-step production flow framework for assessing your constraint and growth targets.🔗 Connect with John Hetherington on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhetherington1/🌐 Learn more at We Deliver Your Vision: https://www.wedeliveryourvision.com/ 🎥 Watch John on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JohnHetherington.channel🔗 Learn more about KPI Fire: https://www.kpifire.com/ 🎙 Hosted by Keith Norris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithnorris/
