About this episode
In this episode of The Intentional Spill, Yvette and Frank take aim at how transformation has been hijacked and turned into a crisis response, a reorg strategy, or a last-ditch effort to save a sinking ship. Sparked by a recent Harvard Business Review call to “stop doing transformation,” the conversation asks a deeper question: What if transformation isn’t the problem, but how we’ve been co-opting it is?
Drawing from natural systems, foresight practice, and lived experience, the episode reframes transformation as a living dynamic, not a traumatic intervention. Think acorns and oak trees, submergence and emergence, and capacity-building over change fatigue. You'll learn why real transformation can’t be forced, scheduled, or “bombed” into existence.
This is a call to stop reacting and start cultivating.
Less treadmill. Less panic.
More intention. More life.
Transform away.
