Agility. It gets talked about like every CEO is great at it, but are frameworks, perfection, and stale visions butchering it? JP and Neil sit down with agility heavyweight Giles Lindsay to tear into why most “agile transformations” stall, spin, or flat-out fail. Spoiler: it’s the leadership. This is a no-nonsense conversation about habit change, not process change. About why command-and-control ki...

Everyone wants Silicon Valley results, but do you want the Silicon Valley accountability?

The end of the year is supposed to be about, Christmas parties, slowing down or getting everything done in time. But not at Rebel HQ.

Let’s cut the crap: AI isn’t magic, and slapping “generative” on your latest initiative won’t save it from being a glorified tech demo.
