Key Takeaways from This Episode:

1. Outputs don’t prove progress: outcomes do.

   • "Training is not an outcome."

2. Specific problems demand specific solutions.

   • "You can track how many people turned up to an event. You can count how many policies you updated. You can show how many people completed a training course. And none of it may be relevant."

3. Focus on preventions instead of a cure.

   • "You’d be surprised how often I see strategies full of goals that sound good, but don’t translate into day-to-day actions."
