Episode Synopsis


It's time to rethink what we mean by productivity, says work futurist, Dominic Price. What's important isn't output, but outcomes. And confusing the two, he says, is simply counter-productive! Also, benefit corporations — why many businesses are moving away from an obsession with profit at all cost; And why a compulsory savings model could help control inflation without raising interest rates.Original broadcast on August 20, 2023GuestsEd Chambliss – founder and CEO, Best Friend BrandsLachlan Kerwood-McCall – Economist, Australian National UniversityJessica Lynd – Attorney and Senior Associate, International Trade Group, White and CaseDominic Price – Work Futurist, Atlassian
