Episode 63 – When organizations talk about sustainability, good intentions are rarely the problem. Execution is. For many leaders, sustainability still gets reduced to end-of-the-line solutions—like recycling—rather than addressed as a deeper leadership and systems challenge. …And that’s where so many efforts stall: in the gap between what organizations say matters and what actually shows up in daily work, decisions, and priorities. In this episode of Chain of Learning, I’m joined by Rose Heathcote, sustainability expert, Lean adviser, and author, for a conversation that reframes sustainability as a transformation challenge—one that looks strikingly similar to Lean transformations, strategy deployment, and culture change.
