Welcome back to part two of the season finale of Absolute Clarity season three! The number one travel management podcast brought to you by Clarity, the business travel experts.

Following on from our recent discussion into privacy and data, we welcome back Owen Coombes alongside Matt Gatenby and Luke Golding from Travlaw to answer the question, does anyone even care about GDPR anymore?

From networking breakfasts to a rise in GDPR consultants, businesses spent months fearing those four letters that meant a plethora of changes for their data. But was it a success? Or did we let fear guide more than our policies?

We then look at a few examples of companies that have dropped the ball when it comes to GDPR and whether they managed to pick it up again or trip over it... repeatedly!

We'll see you next week for a special bonus episode of the show featuring the one and only, Ryan Giggs!

“We’re in the endgame, now.”

That’s right folks, we’re down to our final episodes of Absolute Clarity season three, and what a ride it has been! We’ve featured the likes of Virgin Atlantic, Air France – KLM, international best-selling author Damian Hughes, Travelodge, ITM and more!

So, whether you've tuned in for one episode or the entire season, thank you.

In the first of our two-part finale, we welcome Clarity’s Head of IT Compliance and Security at Clarity, Owen Coombes, and the Head of MI and Data, Darren Williams into the studio to talk to us about privacy and data.

I know, boring right? WRONG! 2019 has been the year of high-profile data and privacy headlines from Cambridge Analytica and Facebook to the Face ID app that swept the nation, the topic has been a hot one and we dive head first to debate it.

Should everyone be entitled to privacy or should it be earnt, like respect? Have we traded it for comfort? Are we at fault for big companies buying and trading our data like football stickers in a playground?

We breakdown the debate between Apple and Google to discover which mobile platform is doing the most to protect your information.

All this and more on the number one travel management podcast, Absolute Clarity!

And don’t forget to join us next week for part two when we review the performance of GDPR and what it will look like after Brexit!

Welcome to the latest episode of the number one travel management podcast, Absolute Clarity.

On this week’s show, we welcome international best-selling author, Damian Hughes, into the studio to talk to us about his latest book, The Barcelona Way and how something as simple as culture can make a big difference.

When Pep Guardiola joined Barcelona in 2008, no one knew he would go on to be one of the greatest managers in their history, winning 14 of 19 possible trophies in his four-year stint. But how did Pep turn a mismatch of superstars into football’s greatest success story? One word, culture.

We discover the importance of culture, why your business needs to identify its own and how to manage a toxic one.
