That Great Business Show

E188 That Great Business Show with Conall O Móráin

The Business Post (previously known as the Sunday Business Post) has changed its model to attract those elusive readers. Once a weekly print publication nowadays it's a daily digital bulletin with a slimmed-down Sunday print version. Colm O'Reilly, COO of The Business Post Group, (the newspaper, an events business, a market research company) explains what the current strategy is and what the plans are for the future.

His 'hire in a heartbeat'? Ryanair's Michael O'Leary (possibly top of the Great Business Show's 'hire in a heartbeat' charts), for his no-nonsense approach to business.

Skillnet Innovation Exchange matches larger Irish corporates with specific business problems with innovative SMEs with solutions. It's heavily government subsidised and it's a programme that gives smaller companies a real chance of grabbing business from larger corporates who ordinarily might give them the time of day. Conor Carmody, Director at SIE explains how it works, why it works and what types of companies he wants to get involved. Some of his case studies are very impressive indeed.

Conor's 'hire in a heartbeat'? US politician George Mitchell. If was able to help 'fix' the Northern Ireland issue who wouldn't want him aboard?
