Alice Frost
Alice Frost, Director of Knowledge Exchange at Research England, discusses the UK’s knowledge economy and the dark art of getting innovative ideas out of higher education to create real-world impact.
How well is the UK doing in this field? Alice explains her obsession with evidence, avoiding “wifty wafty” stakeholder engagement, and how the UK’s academic research and development achievements translate into £billions of pounds for the UK economy. If you are interested in the current debate on the wholesale reform of how universities think about their spin out and licencing strategies, this podcast is for you.

Andy Wilkins
How can businesses of every size learn to embrace curiosity and creativity?
Andy Wilkins, business consultant; Honorary Visiting Fellow at Bayes Business School; and co-founder of consultancy Perspectiv, discusses creativity in business with Professor Neil Maiden.
The conversation covers a wide range of issues and considers how ten years ago, industrial focus was on process improvements, which has now given way to the leadership of complexity, establishing cultures, and the delusion of self-awareness. The current business environment is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) and this podcast offers insights from two experienced guides in business and creativity.

Sports Talk - Stuart Armstrong and Alex Wolf
This week’s CreAtIve Tech podcast is a sports roundtable. Professor Neil Maiden is joined by Stuart Armstrong, Strategic Lead for Workforce Transformation at Sport England, and Alex Wolf, Sports Consultant and founder of Strength and Conditioning Academy.
Stuart and Alex consider the culture of curiosity and creativity that sports coaching must support for successful outcomes; the importance of psychological safety in training; and the effects of power dynamics on coaches and athletes.
Join the debate on the difference between good and bad sports coaching, re-appraising coaching behaviour, and why being tough and mean is antithetical to high performance.
