Consulting, research, and education are three distinct but interconnected fields that contribute to the development and application of knowledge in various industries.

Consulting provides expert advice to organisations or individuals to solve problems and improve performance. Consultants use their specialized knowledge to offer insights and develop strategies.

Research involves systematic investigation to discover new insights or develop theories. It can be academic or applied, aiming to advance knowledge or solve practical problems.

Education is the process of teaching and learning, transferring knowledge and skills. It occurs in schools, universities, or informally, such as through online courses.

Together, these fields foster innovation, drive progress, and enhance capabilities in various industries. Gain insights into these fields from our episodes with Annachiara Marcandalli, Jo Holden, Luba Nikulina, Michael Birshan, Huw Van Steenis, John Authers, Sir Anthony Seldon, Steve Clapham, and Nick Finegold!
