A PE bankruptcy specialist and BCG partner walk into a bar...
Just kidding, they walked into HBR... and they're trying to sell you a framework!
Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Leader Om Patel dissect the April HBR piece arguing that "consensus decision-making doesn't work in the AI era." By the end, you'll spot the sales funnel dressed as thought leadership, understand who profits from "autonomous scrum," and (hopefully) never read a management article the same way again.
Listen or Watch as we discuss and debate: • Why the OVIS framework is RACI in a trench coat • How the authors' try to undermine building consensus • What "autonomous scrum" is (it's just scrum) • The fiduciary duty argument • A Peacetime/Wartime CEO concept lifted without attribution • Questions to ask whenever an HBR article recommends a specific consulting firm's methodology
