A podcast with Sapir Ashkenazi
Beyond the polished version.
Business advice often focuses on what to do. The harder conversation is how to make it happen with the people, responsibilities, and constraints already in place.
The Operational Standard explores that practical side of business: what founders and operators are figuring out, what they are changing, and what others can learn from the process.
Themes for the conversation
Working across clients, teams, and partners
What helps commitments stay clear when several relationships shape delivery.
Building processes people can actually use
How procedures become useful in daily work rather than documents people work around.
Deciding where systems and AI are helpful
A practical look at where tools support judgment, communication, and follow-through.
