We're back! Refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to deliver our global audiences insightful, thoughtful and intelligent discussions with global leaders on how we use purpose and principles to recode leadership and culture for the age of AI. However, this year, we're changing it up a little. We are going to extend The New P&L concept further in 2026 and focusonly on those positive things and positive people that are changing the business world in positive ways. We will still focus on how purpose sits at the heart of our organisations, particularly in such a fast paced,transformational world driven by AI, and we will still focus on how we build our cultures and develop our leaders, and what the purpose and principles and values are that underpin this should be.But in our own small way, we are also going to act as a counterweight to all the negativity and noise that is overwhelming so many people in business right now. Ultimately, we want to use this podcast and our voice to try and offer listeners something that seems to in very short supply at the moment: Hope.  Want to join us?
