Episode 1
30 minutes
Evan Davis is joined by a panel of top executives to discuss the current economic climate.
With the crisis in the Eurozone adding to economic uncertainty around the world, how are companies planning for the short and long-term? As decisions by governments begin to bite, Evan finds out how political risk is factored into political decisions. The panel also talks about Google's 20 per cent policy, under which engineers are given a fifth of their time to work on their own projects - and about how to make the most of downtime.
Evan is joined in the studio by Matt Brittin, managing director of Google UK; Thomas Flohr, founder and chairman of VistaJet; and Irwin Lee, vice president and UK and Ireland general manager of Procter and Gamble. Show less
