Lean By Design
Lean by Design explores how organizations can fix what’s predictably broken in their operations — starting with the systems, decisions, and behaviors that shape how work gets done. Hosts Oscar Gonzalez and Lawrence Wong speak with leaders from biopharma and beyond, drawing lessons from industries that share the same pursuit of clarity, efficiency, and sustainable execution. Each episode breaks down real challenges into practical insights that help teams align better, think smarter, and move faster. Produced by Sigma Lab Consulting, Lean by Design helps organizations design for what works—and eliminate what doesn’t. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

0106. Workplace Conflict- Where does it come from? What can we do about it?
In this episode, we connect with Ryan Dunlap, Founder & Chief Conflict Officer of Conflictish, a conflict strategy firm dedicated to helping leaders improve how they lead themselves and others through conflict.
Conflict takes many forms, in the workplace, at home, it can be intrapersonal or interpersonal. So how do we navigate conflict to begin with? Ryan takes us through a few conflict scenarios, including a life or death scenario. He provides incredible insights in what drives us and what external and internal factors can lead to workplace conflict.
How do our workplace experiences warp our view of colleagues and collaborators? What causes us to label coworkers as "hard to work with" when the process is at fault? Find answers to this and more in episode 6.
Connect with Ryan across the web and social media.
