People & Culture Is Not a Soft Science, It's a Power Science
Most large enterprises have gold lying on their streets. It stays there, because nobody takes the walk.

Francois sits down with Ryan Osher, co-founder of Civitas Network, on the 18-month stretch where growth wasn't the goal, why innovation has to be a culture rather than a department, and what enterprises get wrong about moving fast.
