Most businesses don’t fail because they implemented badly—they fail because they solved the wrong problem. In this episode, we challenge the way we think about expertise and question why organizations rush to hire experts before understanding what they’re actually trying to fix.
Discover the critical difference between simple, complicated, and complex problems, and why most business challenges require a completely different approach than we think. Learn a practical three-question framework to determine when you actually need an expert versus when you need someone who asks better questions.
From a company that chose quick fixes over real thinking (and went bankrupt) to the implementation trap that wastes millions, this episode reveals why “expertise” can sometimes shut down the very thinking your organization needs most.
If you’ve ever wondered why expert solutions don’t always work, or why transformation initiatives fail despite following all the best practices, this episode will change how you approach problem-solving forever.
Key takeaways:
- The three-question framework for identifying true expertise needs
- How to spot the difference between complicated and complex problems
- Why implementation without thinking is the most expensive mistake you can make
- Practical steps to validate problems before jumping to solutions
Perfect for entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders who want to stop wasting resources on solutions that don’t address the real problem.
