Being more open only serves to fuel the critics; can transparency and business ever be truly compatible?
This free debate will examine the role of transparency in business.
We’ll be asking whether working more openly can boost performance, increase efficiency and promote good business practise. We’ll look at lessons learned across the business world, as well as the public sector. And ask whether there is a line beyond which any benefits of transparency become negligible.
There will be lots of time for questions, and you’ll be able to carry on your discussions over drinks after the debate.
Chair:
Jane Dudman, Editor Public Leaders Network, The Guardian
