In my earlier career leading cybersecurity teams, I dealt with one universal truth: problems are cheaper to fix the earlier you catch them. That’s why in cybersecurity, we adopt what’s known as a “shift left” strategy—embedding security earlier in the software development lifecycle rather than bolting it on at the end.   It’s not just a buzzword—it’s a proven approach.

When we first uncovered these numbers, they lodged in our minds and refused to let go. They kept us up at night, tugging at our conscience and pushing us to ask a simple but urgent question: why?   That relentless discomfort became ou

Why Watching the Trash Can Won’t Solve Your Food Waste Problem Tracking what ends up in the trash can is a meaningful first step — it shows your team is paying attention. But to truly reduce food waste, improve efficiency, and meet sustainability goals, that last step in the process isn’t enough on its own. Food waste is the result of upstream decisions: how ingredients are ordered, how batches are prepared, how much is served, and how guests respond. Without full visibility
