Operational Velocity
Operational Velocity is a podcast about the business system that converts inputs into cash, decisions into margin, and operational discipline into returns that compound over time. This series is built around one key thesis: the way a business operates determines what it returns. The show works through four main lenses: 1) value creation through operations, 2) operations-first leaders, 3) technology as operational leverage, and 4) PE and the operating model. Each lens is a different way of seeing the same truth; every financial metric you care about has an operational driver sitting upstream of it. In essence, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, and return on capital employed are all operational outcomes. This series is hosted by Gautam Basu (PhD, MBA).
