Amanda Mackenzie and Matt Hyde join James Ashton to discuss promoting better business behaviour, mobilising a volunteer force, magpieing great ideas and showing some vulnerability.
Amanda Mackenzie is the chief executive of Business in the Community - The Prince of Wales’ Responsible Business Network. Its 700 members seek to do business better - whether that is helping the environment, their own staff, or society at large. If they get it right, they might even boost levels of public trust in large enterprise.
Mackenzie has over 25 years of commercial experience, including director roles at British Airways Airmiles, BT and British Gas. She joined Aviva as chief marketing officer to change its name from Norwich Union.
Matt Hyde is chief executive of the Scouts, the fast-growing youth movement with 640,000 members in the UK. While for some adventurer Bear Grylls is the organisation’s public face as the Chief Scout, Hyde has spent the last six years working on strategies that have developed the Scouts far beyond their campfire heritage.
A Million Hands has reasserted the Scouts’ strength in volunteering while Skills for Life has taught youngster about teamwork and leadership. Hyde was formerly chief executive of the National Union of Students.
