Show Notes:
Tuesday and Tim are joined by CEO of 10-in-10 and author of The Social Labs Revolution, Zaid Hassan, where they talk about invitations into work, how consultants can (or can not!) affect change, what 10-in-10 is doing differently to reinvent the future, and what drives Zaid to tackle the complex challenges of our times.
