Workarounds: Paulo Savaget
Episode 4
Monday, 18 September, 2023
What have olive oil in Marc's kitchen, Hindu gods in dark corners of New Delhi, and Coca Cola bottles in Zambia in common? - They are just a few of the many powerful workarounds that we discuss in this episode. If you want to change human behaviors or even entire systems, you sometimes need to take a detour to get things moving. Instead of confronting obstacles head-on, working around them can lead to better results. To give you some ideas about your next workarounds, we will talk with Paulo Savaget who travelled around the world to study how people use workarounds to change individuals, organizations, if not entire societies. He just published his findings in the book "The Four Workarounds: Strategies from the World's Scrappiest Organizations for Tackling Complex Problems". [music]
