The Wicked Opportunities Podcast
The world is filled with Wicked Problems - incredibly complicated predicaments that don’t have simple solutions. However, the real problem isn’t our complex world, but rather our outdated mindsets. The way that we see the future directly impacts the actions that we take today, so a better world requires better visions. Join futurists Yvette Montero Salvatico and Frank Spencer each week as they use the Natural Foresight® Framework to reframe our Wicked Problems into the transformational ideas that they call Wicked Opportunities.

Transformation Bombing
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.
