The Future of Transport: Radicalising Regulatory Thinking

Regulating for the common good - is the devil the detail? In an era of disruption, how do we bring in effective regulatory systems with a bigger picture view, geared towards public good? Journalist Matthew Gwyther interviews: Christine Armstrong, Co-founder, Jericho Chambers; David Brown, CEO, Go-Ahead Group; Harry Armstrong, Head of Technology Futures, Nesta; Katy Taylor, Group Marketing and Customer Experience Director, Go-Ahead Group; Michael Hurwitz, Director of Innovation, Transport for London; Simon Craven, Special Adviser, Go-Ahead Group; Stephen Joseph, CEO, Campaign for Better Transport, and Tony Travers, Director, Institute of Public Affairs, London School of Economics. From a starting point of transport, the conversation covers wider use of data, nationalisation vs privatisation, the importance of culture, better power symmetry across different industries, and working with - not against - innovators to design regulation fit for the future.

Jericho Conversations is one of a number of initiatives that spontaneously emerged during the first COVID lockdown – part of a determination to use moments of crisis to pivot towards a better, fairer, more equitable and sustainable future for all. By popular demand, we have reignited the series to help find surprising and refreshing solutions and insights into a world in constant flux. Each conversation – led by an expert speaker – is designed to keep Jericho communities engaged and thinking about “what comes next?” for business and society.
