Episode notes

Each of the five key concepts starts with P, which is handy to remember. They are portfolio, plan, people, productivity and positioning.

So this is all of our checklists and processes and what does the environment look like in your workplace? We've already got a couple tidbits for each. But it's more around how do you set yourself up for success? That's good enough for this exercise. It gives you a good sense of what's going on.
