Episode #76 - Little’s Law: Make Flow Your Strategy

This episode turns Little’s Law from theory to practice. In under five minutes, we show how WIP = Throughput × Cycle Time explains stalled portfolios, why capping work-in-process reliably shortens delivery time, and how pull policies, small batches, and a weekly Flow Council lifts throughput and on-time quality across functions. Expect cross-industry evidence and a simple, measurable actions list you can run this quarter.
