BBC Radio 4 - Four Thought, Series 2, Judith Clegg: Pay it Forward

Judith Clegg argues that start-up culture can make the world a dramatically better place.

Judith Clegg argues that the special culture of technology start-ups could be applied much more widely, and if it was, it would make the world a dramatically better place.

Entrepreneur Judith Clegg argues that the special culture of technology start-ups could make the world a dramatically better place, if adopted more widely.

Even after a year of dramatic change, she believes we could do with some more - in sectors as varied as banking, government and energy companies. 

The start-up culture of pay-it-forward, decent treatment of staff, enthusiasm and hard work is just what we need in every sector in these hard economic times, she says.

With a family background steeped in entrepreneurial spirit, and a career spent breathing life into start-ups, she now runs the Takeout consultancy, which helps big organisations learn lessons from the start-up community, and the Glasshouse, a meeting space for entrepreneurs, and is co-founder of a startup investment fund.

Producer: Giles Edwards.
