💡How do you lead when everything is changing?
From the civil service and the Treasury, to Ofcom and John Lewis, Baroness Sharon White has led some of Britain's most important institutions through periods of profound change.
🎙️In the latest episode of ‘Provox’, Paul Johnson speaks to Baroness White about her remarkable career, from her Windrush family background in East London, to the highest levels of public service and business.
Together they explore ambition, public purpose, leading through crisis, the role of regulators, and what it takes to steer major organisations when the stakes are high.

When Alan Turing’s story took to the stage in Royal & Derngate Theatre’s production of 'Breaking the Code', Senior Research Fellow Dr Christopher Hollings was behind the scenes helping the cast bring his mathematics to life.
As historical adviser, Christopher worked with the company to make sure Turing’s ideas were represented accurately. But the collaboration worked both ways: exploring Turing’s work brought both surprises and moments of confirmation, while seeing mathematics interpreted through performance offered new insight into how complex ideas can be communicated.
