In this episode, Sarah Bowen and Merle Van Den Akker talk to Rory Sutherland. The conversation takes many interesting twists and turns including: How does innovative thinking and knowledge accumulation differ in business compared to academia? What is the problem with data (particularly big data)? Why did it take a pandemic for people to start working from home? Listen to the episode to discover what is it that connects cryptic crosswords, a keen interest in true crime, evolutionary, and behavioural science!
