|  | | | | 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.

Mind Your Language
We all deal with language every day – mostly without thinking about exactly what we’re saying. And in the world of business that’s been compounded by the growth of 'management speak' – words that don’t mean what they seem.
Phrases you can just throw into a meeting to make it sound like you understand the latest fads.
But the words we use and the way we use them can have a profound influence on the people we’re talking to. Just changing one word can transform a listener’s view of us and our organization.
So how can you harness this incredible power to change an organization?
