Dynamic Decisions Podcast
Cut Costs or Cut People?
Derrek Lennox is SVP of Corporate Development and CFO at Dougall Media, a managing partner at his own consulting firm, and an adjunct professor of corporate restructuring at York University's Schulich School of Business.
In this episode of the Dynamic Decisions Podcast, he doesn't just talk turnarounds, he hands over the exact frameworks he uses to make decisions under pressure.
The three-part framework (financial, process, strategy) Derek uses to diagnose whether a struggling organization can actually be saved.
His two-move method for cutting through bad data: ask questions, do the math, and never trust the first answer you get.
The real story behind an Indigenous-owned arena that flipped a $500,000 loss into a $1 million profit without a single layoff.
If you've ever wondered how a CFO actually decides, not just what he decides, this one's for you.
