Description:

Many business owners experience recurring problems without understanding where they truly originate. This session helps participants step back and view their business as a living system, where leadership, operations, communication, and decision-making interact continuously. Patrick Lee will show how growth limitations often emerge from misaligned systems rather than isolated issues. Attendees will gain insight into how to identify hidden bottlenecks and structural friction that keep their organization stuck. Presenter, Patrick Lee; Chesapeake Think Tank | Spark Business Institute
