Ishan Galapathy is a renowned Operational Excellence expert in the food industry. Ishan has worked with global ‘big boys’ such as Campbell Arnott’s and Kellogg’s for over a decade, harnessing hidden opportunities and making the most of their existing people and processes. He now shares his expertise and insights with businesses wanting to grow and become dominant players in this sector.
The conversation brings Ishan’s work in process improvement down to a personal scale. His approach is deliberately simple: identify the habits that matter, make them easy to repeat and use a visible prompt to keep the commitment alive.
Episode takeaways#

- Tiny habits compound, but they need a reliable prompt and a simple way to track progress.
- Careers often begin through serendipity and gain meaning as we look back and connect our experiences.
- Ambition works best alongside an honest understanding of what is—and is not—within our control.
