What if we told you that global corporations could learn more from an ad-hoc group of hackers than vice versa? As organizations worldwide face complex problems, they can and should take a page from small, nimble groups that make up for their lack of resources with extraordinary ingenuity.

Paulo Savaget is an associate professor at Oxford University’s Engineering Sciences Department and the Saïd Business School. He is also the author of the new book "The Four Workarounds: How the World's Scrappiest Organizations Tackle Complex Problems." This episode discusses how organizations can get scrappy and find workarounds to succeed.
