|  | | | | We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.

The Uncertainty Principle
The familiar certainties that defined life since the second world war are over. They died on September 11, 2001 and with the latest Iraqi war.
We are now living in an era of random uncertainties, jolts and risks.
What difference does this make to corporations, stock markets and big ideas such as globalisation and world trade?
That is the question we pose to some big thinkers on the first In Business of the new series on 8 May at 2030.
