What can music teach us about human behaviour? What impact is remote and hybrid working having on employee conduct? How might we misjudge the risks posed by AI?
If these seem like a broad range of topics that have little in common, then you\u2019re right and wrong. You\u2019re right that they\u2019re broad, but you\u2019re wrong that they have little in common. My guest, Dr. Roger Miles, is a friend of the show \u2014 he\u2019s been on it before (links to those episodes below) \u2014 and they\u2019re all relevant to his work and interests.
Since I was recording at the world-famous Abbey Road studios in London, I thought having music fan and musician Roger in the studio would be a good idea. Not just to hear from him about music but also to catch up on what he\u2019s been doing and hear his insights on current affairs and recent trends.
