The Mechanics of Successful Business: Simplifying Sales and Budgeting

Has satire lost its power in this new world of fake news and ‘alternative facts’ - when our leaders lie so blatantly and frequently, and still manage to get away with it?

The event was chaired by journalist, writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed.
