What is the Most Simple OS for <$5M?

Podcast 30:58 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes

The hard part shouldn’t be how to implement an OS in your organization. The hard part is answering the question: Are the right people in the right roles at your company?

 In this episode, Dan and Ian share their own OS that’s extremely simple. It’s called GPS. They’ll explain how GPS helps you put a plan in place to meet your goals, and deliver on that plan. That’s it.

 Also, hiring for specific tasks, the impact of remote work on hiring, and more.
