As companies transition from initial traction to sustainable growth, the scrappy habits that got them off the ground often become the bottlenecks stalling their scale. When daily execution relies on a founder’s mental checklist rather than a documented system, the organization experiences dropped balls, miscommunications, and severe internal friction. 

In this interactive Lunch & Learn, founders and leaders will learn how to transition from reactive problem-solving to proactive system-building. Guided by Amie Kaplin, President & Founder of Sage Crest LLC, participants will complete a rapid, live operational audit to bridge the gap between their strategic vision and their daily operations. Leveraging her expertise in lean scaling and managing complex operations within rapid-innovation ecosystems, Amie will help attendees diagnose their organizational drag and leave with an actionable framework and a concrete first step to establish structural discipline. 

Key Takeaways: 

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to: 

• Map the Execution Gap: Uncover the hidden disconnects between your primary quarterly strategic goal and the daily, localized actions required to achieve it. 

• Stress-Test Your Systems: Quickly evaluate current workflows to determine if they can survive a sudden influx of volume, or if they rely too heavily on manual intervention. 

• Diagnose & Shift: Utilize a targeted matrix to accurately categorize your biggest operational fire and define one non-negotiable, concrete action to immediately remove the drag.
