This event was recorded in May 2022 but remains highly relevant today.

Yet when the world was struck by COVID-19, Pfizer managed to deliver a vaccine in just eight months.

Business journalist Fraser Allen is joined by Billy Glennon, Chief Executive of VISION, who explains what mobilisation is – and how it can transform the abilities of your organisation. He also discusses the influence of the pioneering engineer and entrepreneur Fernando Flores, and his own role in the extraordinary mobilisation of the original fintech disruptor, Intelligent Finance.
