The operating playbook behind the Lean Scale-Up program. Built from over five years of embedded work with growth-stage technology companies at Insight Partners, the book introduces the S.C.A.L.E. framework — a field-tested approach to removing the forces that slow companies down: drag, inertia, friction, and waste.
