    Ep 20: Medical logistics can transform healthcare in the Caribbean. Here's how.

    You might not have realized how harnessing the power of logistics can transform your own medical practice and by extension, the healthcare industry in the Caribbean on a whole.

    Ep 19: Has Protectionism Failed Us?

    Our host Collis Williams invites you to join the debate; protectionism or free trade? He also challenges you to consider whether protectionism is in the interest of the people of the Caribbean or is it instead in the interest of a select few? Further, is protectionism a function of it being more politically expedient to protect capital rather than to protect the people?

    Ep 18: The Devil In Demurrage

    It’s a fact—demurrage plagues us in the Caribbean. And we can’t help but notice how it has made a shift from penalty to profiteering. Following on from our recently published article ‘On Demurrage: Developing A Level of Reasonableness', our host Collis Williams, gives his thoughts on the plague that is demurrage. Can we find a cure for this crippling malady in the near future? Visit our website for show notes and to join the discussion on this episode. Connect with us on LinkedIn HERE.

    Ep 17: A 1:1 Conversation About Reviving The Manufacturing Sector In Barbados & The Wider CARICOM Region

    Listen in with host Collis Williams and former Technical Advisor to the CARICOM Secretariat’s Office of Trade Negotiations, Joel Richards, on how we can revitalize manufacturing in Barbados and the wider CARICOM region. Should we be looking at the core concept of manufacturing through a wider lens? Should we focus more on mass customization rather than mass production? Do we have the capacity to be a competitive manufacturing base on the world market? We tackle these critical questions and more, as we discuss some of the strategies that can be employed to ensure manufacturing in the Caribbean both survives and thrives.

    Ep 16: Why The Caribbean May Be Looking At E-Commerce Trade Incorrectly

    E-commerce consultant Roger Barrow deconstructs the current Caribbean e-commerce environment, offering insight into the history of the global e-commerce market and how it has limited our capacity to participate. We delve into how we can circumvent these limitations and outline specific ways that Caribbean people can swim with the current e-commerce tide instead of against it—one such method is by shifting our focus towards the service element of e-commerce trade instead of on the physical goods aspect.

    Ep 15: Our Educational System Will Not Sustain Our Economic Future—And Here's Why

    This episode's discussion features Benjamin Niles, Chairman of the Barbados Vocational Training Board (BVBT), and centres on education. Our host Collis Williams purports that we the people of the Caribbean are not harnessing the power of logistics as we should; a problem that is clearly rooted in the way in which we were educated. Niles argues that we were taught to retain and regurgitate instead of the power of creative thought. The two agree that in the Caribbean, education as we know it must desperately be reinterpreted, and offer a few suggestions on how we can go about this behemoth of a task.

    Ep 14: Tapping Into Barbados' Billion-Dollar Energy Sector

    Over the next 10 years, Barbadians will spend around 20 billion dollars on energy. With a current target of achieving 100% renewable energy usage by 2030, the government of Barbados has created a number of renewable energy and energy efficiency fiscal incentives that are hoped to open up the country's billion-dollar energy sector to a diversity of local entrepreneurs, and in turn assist in building the local capacity to supply the demand for renewable energy. In this episode we speak to William Hinds BJH, SCM, Chief Energy Conservation Officer in the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources. We discuss the opportunities that exist in the emerging renewable energy sector for both individuals and companies as well as the change his ministry plans to bring to Barbados in the coming years.
