What do you imagine Ken Livingstone to be like? If his name calls to mind a tubthumping, wild-eyed socialist radical then you'd be mistaken. When the London Business Forum (LBF) convened to hear him speak at the Lewis Media Centre, we were greeted not by the Red Ken of legend but by a soft-spoken pragmatist, knowledgeable and highly positive about business, who referenced Keynesian economics and lauded the motivational benefits of performance-related pay. Only the sense of humour was recognisable: "Let me start by disappointing you," he said by way of introduction. "I'm English, so there's going to be no juggling, no dancing and no Mexican waves required from anyone here."... London Business Forum offers a programme of fun and insightful events. Presented by some of the world’s most inspired and inspiring people, our events provide a burst of fresh thinking without taking you out of the office for too long.
