#8 Matt Scott - Community Development in Barking and Dagenham

Matt Scott is Chief Exec at Thames Life, in London, but sometimes describes himself simply as a community worker. He talks to host Pete Burden about his experiences of power.

From a summary of the transcript: Matt emphasises the importance of building relationships and creating spaces for people to talk about their concerns and work together. He acknowledges the challenges of working in a system with unequal power dynamics but emphasises the importance of improvisation and collective action. He ends with some important points about executive capture, and the constraints brought by financialisation. (Gemini)
