Ep 01 | We’re Squading Wrong
Getting Flexible Deployments Right

Moving people to problems sounds effective… until it isn't. Carl and Megan unpack what separates flexible deployment and squading that truly works, from the kind that might just quietly demoralize your team.

Ep 02 | The Pivot Is The Point
Leading In Uncertainty

Traditional planning cycles can't keep up with AI-speed change. So what replaces them? Carl and Megan make the case for missions that are bold, never finished, and built to reward experimentation over rigid delivery.

Ep 03 | Interesting, But Not Important
Prioritizing Emergent Problems

Not every "special project" deserves to exist. Carl and Megan break down how leaders can tell which emergent problems are actually worth solving, run real experiments instead of disguised validation exercises, and reward teams even when the right call is to stop.
