About this podcast
The Strategy Gap A show about the space between savvy strategy and practical execution — and everything that can go wrong on the way. Ever finish out the workday and realize you were super busy but didn’t actually accomplish what you wanted? A lot of companies operate this way.
Many of us know where we want our organization to go, but struggle to understand how we’re progressing and how to make sure we get there. This is a show about the best-laid plans, properly executing as you scale, and the processes you need to achieve your goals.
In this show, hosted by Jonathan Morgan and Joe Krause, each episode features conversations with strategy and operational leaders on key insights in strategic planning, strategy execution, and more.
