In this episode of The Entrepreneur to Author Podcast, your host Scott MacMillan sits down with Chris Harrop, former Senior Partner at Bain & Company with over three decades of experience helping leaders solve complex business problems. Chris shares the challenge of translating a lifetime of hands-on expertise into clear, accessible guidance and reflects on what it really takes to solve hard, never-before-seen problems. His book, The Problem Solver’s Playbook, teaches readers to “tame” problems by narrowing scope, digging to the root cause, and navigating the messy realities of stakeholder alignment and execution. As business challenges grow increasingly dynamic—accelerated by AI—Chris underscores why strong, foundational problem-solving skills have never been more important.
