Work Punks
Sticking the needle into accepted workplace practices.
There's lot wrong that goes on in the workplace today and Colin, Paul and Ben aren't afraid to point it out - in fact, they delight in it. What they like even more is debunking myths, slaughtering sacred cows, challenging assumptions and generally giving 'recieved wisdom' the skewering it truly deserves.
It's all about making the workplace better, more human and a place for thriving, not just surviving. Drawing upon their extensive experience and broad knowledge, they also offer examples of how to do it better, what more progressive approaches and more modern practices look like and what alternatives there are to the 'same old same old'.
It's time to take on the Status Quo and bring in a new wave!

Towards a progressive MBA
In this episode our Punks discuss Ben's ambition to create a progressive MBA programme, one that leaves the formulaic traps of established MBAs for dust and prepares the leaders of the future with the skills that the 2020s demand. After all, with large parts of the workforce working flexibly, AI looming large over everyone, and Gen Z entrants to the labour market no longer interested in climbing the corporate ladder, traditional leadership skills (whatever they are) no longer fit the bill.
Listen to our mavericks' debate on the subject and let us know what key skill you would want to be tought at a thoroughly modern MBA.
Colin's quote is from Geoff Marlow, the full version of which is “a future-fit organisation is one where sense making, decision making & action taking are tightly coupled, rapidly and repeatedly iterated, deeply embedded and widely distributed throughout the organisation.” For more context, Geoff suggests the following edition of his newsletter, although it doesn’t include this exact phrase https://geoffmarlow.substack.com/p/fr...
