Josh McKain’s Data-Driven Framework to Align Goals and Accountability, Ep #7

Buy the Numbers

On this episode of Buy the Numbers, I sit down with Josh McKain to talk about his 3.5-step framework—the process he uses to help companies turn their goals into results.

Josh shares how he starts every project by aligning teams, often uncovering surprising gaps in understanding. From there, his framework guides teams through assessing their capacity, building a strategic roadmap, and staying on track with regular check-ins—the “half-step” that keeps everyone aligned.

We also explore the importance of tracking the right KPIs. Overloading your team with metrics can create confusion and dilute focus. Instead, Josh recommends identifying 3–5 key metrics that truly drive success and making sure every team member understands how their work impacts those goals.

Whether it’s coaching your team with data, staying agile in the face of challenges, or gamifying progress to boost performance, Josh’s insights are packed with actionable advice. Tune in to learn how you can set your team up for measurable success.
