The Power of Public Value podcast returns with inspiring stories of business for good
1 October 2024
Cardiff Business School’s podcast, The Power of Public Value, is back for its second series, exploring how the School is driving meaningful business change that goes beyond profit.
Hosted by Professor Peter Wells, Pro Dean of Public Value at Cardiff Business School, each episode highlights a guest's unique journey in using business as a force for good for the benefit of our current and future generations.
From shaping Net Zero policies and tackling anti-racism to addressing the Gender Pay Gap and championing the Welsh language, the series delves into how public value is embedded in research, teaching, and engagement at Cardiff Business School.
The Power of Public Value helps listeners to think differently about how business can shape our society and economy. Tune in to hear how guests interpret, define, and represent the School’s public value principles, guided by their motivations, values, backgrounds, and research interests.
“This latest iteration of The Power of Public Value provides just a glimpse of how our ethos has inspired and galvanised staff and students alike, bringing world-class research into the classroom and confronting some of the huge challenges facing the world today."
He adds: "In this series you will hear from an MBA student from India, somebody recently awarded an OBE, champions of the Welsh language, a local food fanatic, and an economist actually providing a simple answer to a simple question.”
The new series begins on Tuesday 1 October, with episodes released weekly. In the first episode, Dr Maryam Lotfi speaks to Peter about her work on uncovering modern slavery in global supply chains. She shares her experiences of field research and direct engagement with workers to address these issues.
