I'm Sara Gallagher—consultant, speaker, and president of The Persimmon Group. For more than 15 years, I've helped organizations from Fortune 500s to fast-moving startups untangle the real barriers to execution. My work is built around one belief: execution breaks down not because people lack effort or ambition, but because the systems around them make good work harder than it should be.

Big Dumb Questions is where I think out loud about how organizations can do better.
