TBLI Radical Truth: Reimagining Organization with Professor Martin Parker
Description
Welcome to the TBLI Radical Truth Podcast, where knowledge inspires and we explore the ideas, models, and strategies reshaping how organizations create meaningful, sustainable impact.
In this episode, we’re joined by Professor Martin Parker—scholar, author, and one of Europe’s most influential voices challenging the foundations of contemporary management education.
In “Reimagining Organization,” Martin takes us inside the hidden assumptions of Business Schools—how they promote narrow managerial thinking, reproduce neoliberal capitalism, and overlook powerful alternatives such as worker cooperatives, democratic enterprises, and inclusive economic models. He lays out a compelling case for shifting from traditional schools of management to schools for organizing that teach students to build fairer, more resilient, and more sustainable institutions.
Drawing on his leadership of the Bristol Inclusive Economy Initiative, Martin offers clear, practical insights on how universities can help drive low-carbon transitions, social inclusion, and ethical economic development.
The TBLI Radical Truth Podcast brings you conversations that challenge conventional wisdom and spotlight tools for building more equitable, responsible, and future-ready systems.
Let’s begin our conversation with Professor Martin Parker.
