Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin explore the ways in which corporate workshops can go sideways and how to plan memorable off-sites where things actually happen.
Ep. 13: Leadership Teams of the Future Act Like Org Designers
Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin explore why most leadership teams still operate like it's the 1950s — and how that stagnation blocks the rest of the organization from becoming more adaptable and resilient.
Ep. 11: The Ones Who Care The Most Will Leave You First
Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin unpack why those most eager to evolve an organization are also the most likely to leave.

Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin take RACIs and other accountability matrixes to task for not delivering on their promises.

Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin dig into what traditional consulting promises and what it does and doesn’t deliver.
Ep. 6: If You’re Faking It, You Won’t Make It
Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin explore why we struggle to talk about our feelings around change and how it’s holding us back from true transformation.
Ep. 2: Your PowerPoint Deck Is Not a Strategy
Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin explore why strategy as we know it so often fails and how to design a strategy operating rhythm that actually works.
