Smarter Impact with Philip Bateman
Conversations with world leaders in business, investing & politics - including Sandrine Dixson-Declève of the Club of Rome, IIX founder Durreen Shahnaz, and the Rt Hon Nick Hurd. These have been created alongside my work over the past two decades, helping successful and ambitious people make big things happen. My clients typically have a very real, significant and potentially life-changing opportunity. But lack the bandwidth, connections, experience or capital to realise it on their own. And I know, there are lots of advisers, specialists and consultants out there. Some will hand you a list of problems to fix, others a plan or strategy. But very few will stand beside you, hold the vision, do the work and make it happen. I do. Strategy. Advice. Action. Outcomes. That's my promise. Find out more at www.PhilipBateman.com

The current economy is not working. You know this. So what does transitioning to a truly functioning society look like? And for those who say 'well that's too costly' - Sandrine Dixson-Declève calls bullshit.
Together we discuss causes for hope, how societies are responding to the pain of a post 1.5 degree warming world, and what is needed from our Government and Citizen leaders.
If that's you, this short discussion includes the two ...
".. 2.6 trillion in harmful subsidies is spent from governments globally, plus five to six trillion of direct private investment - this is three times the amount of money that we are spending on armaments and weapons to fight each other in the world.

My view is 'Come on we're failing, let's open the door and try to find new, better solutions'
It's not easy, but it's really ...
".. Companies are saying data is the new oil - a lot of companies have really, really cool data that they just need to learn how to put into a story. And that's what Digital PR is, putting that data into a story to then get publications to pick that up and link to you, not mention you, link to you, because that builds your brand." - Harry Sanders, Founder of StudioHawk.

When that happens the whole economic system will shift. Consumers, talent, investors and government will know which companies are delivering positive impact."
Join Sir Ronald Cohen and I from The Global...
".. We wanted the world to know Silicon Valley didn’t have a monopoly on entrepreneurship, and that we wouldn’t judge the citizens of a nation based on their geopolitics - the raw talent in Silicon Valley is not genetic or unique, it was a combination of factors untapped in large parts of the world, and we set out to create that globally - this was our theory of change.." - Jonathan Ortmans, President and Founder of the...
