Find the constraint. Technology, process, data, organization, incentives, regulation — or simply solving the wrong problem.
Prioritize. Decide what deserves resources. Not every technically interesting problem is worth solving.
Structure. Create the conditions for the work. Define ownership, responsibilities and what done really means.
Build. Move into implementation. Work with the people who own the systems, not alongside them in a separate layer.
Measure. Prove what changed. Time, cost, revenue, capacity — against what the objective actually was.
