Daily Creative with Todd Henry

The Four Workarounds (with Paulo Savaget)


Listen Later

What do you do when you encounter a challenging problem that seems to have no immediate solution? Rather than simply pushing forward on the work in a traditional way, you might try to leverage a "workaround", or a less-direct method of solving the problem. Paulo Savaget has studied the tactics of many innovative organizations and has determined that there are four key workarounds that they often employ:

  1. The Piggyback
  2. The Loophole
  3. The Roundabout
  4. The Next Best

On this episode, he shares a little about each of these tactics and how we can employ them each day as leaders and creative pros as we discuss the new book The Four Workarounds.
