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.
