Williams to discuss "Forge Genesis," a program designed to take the leadership principles of Agile and apply them to starting businesses, side hustles, or becoming more intrapreneurial within your current organization. Chris breaks down why so many Agile transformations fail to move the needle: we aren't speaking the language of value. As AI drives the expectation for "better, faster, cheaper" through the roof, the ability to validate ideas, prioritize ruthlessly, and "knock on doors" is more critical than ever. Key topics covered in this episode: The Forge Genesis Framework: From ideation to real-market validation. The "I Don't Get It" Problem: Why executives struggle to see the value of Agile and how to fix your framing. AI & The Future of Work: Why AI won't take your job, but it will make "small a" agility mandatory for survival. Agilists as Entrepreneurs: Using your knowledge of MVP, iteration, and flow to build your own platform. The Risk of Doing Nothing: Why "safe" jobs might be riskier than you think in an algorithm-driven market. Where to find Chris and Forge Genesis. Connect with Chris G.
