Summary
Most leaders treat their technology problems as technology problems. Richard Tarity has spent 26 years watching companies prove otherwise. In this episode, Brandon Laws talks with Richard, the founder of truCX and author of The Intelligence Within , about why how an organization decides matters more than the tools it buys. They get into how slow discovery quietly kills good projects, why sitting on the sidelines costs more than picking the wrong tool, and how some teams gather more insight in one week than others do in ten months. Richard shares real stories, including a healthcare company that spent ten months on discovery and still watched the project fall apart, and a utility company that rebuilt its customer operation in weeks after a major storm. Along the way, he walks through a four-step framework for making faster decisions without cutting corners. If you have ever sat through a long, careful process and wondered why it still led nowhere, this conversation will give you a clearer way to think about the choices facing your team.
