In this episode, Ricardo talks about the dilemma of balancing executive demands for transparency, resources, and deadlines with the need for agility. He makes it clear that agility doesn't mean having any control but rather a mix of control and flexibility. Flexibility, imagination, and new ideas are valued more than strict rules when using agile methods. Ricardo stresses the importance of educating executives on the nuances of agile approaches, especially in innovative and volatile environments. He suggests hybrid methods as a middle ground between agility and control.
