Paul joins me today to discuss productivity and how it applies to corporate innovation. He describes how productivity has become more of an industry focus in the last decade and extrapolates its influence across industries in the years to come. He reveals why our economy is about to go into a state of "Stagflation," and offers advice on escaping it. Paul also explains the best way to deal with uncertainty in corporate innovation.
