  • Today on The Weekend Intelligence,

  • we're bringing you the first episode of our new season of Boss Class, about the world of work.

  • This is a podcast for anyone who manages people or who hopes to.

  • Think of it like a business degree in miniature, or maybe don't, because it's much more fun.

  • Our host, Andrew Palmer, writes the Economist's Bartleby column on work, and he's funny,

  • wise, and those who've been managed by him say he's pretty good.

  • On the first season of Boss Class, he told us how to recruit,

  • how to run meetings, and how to manage your own career.

  • If you haven't heard it, I encourage you to go back and listen.

  • Our new season of Boss Class has just begun, and we'll release more episodes each Monday.

  • This week and next in the Weekend Intelligence slot, we're bringing you two of those new shows.

  • Today, how innovative companies come up with great ideas.

  • Andrew goes to Lego HQ in Denmark, meets robot bricklayers at a Dutch building site,

  • and talks to Google's head of search about AI.

  • You can find new episodes of the series by searching Boss Class wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Tell us what we're looking at.

  • You're basically seeing the robots building.

  • I'm on a building site and wearing a hard hat.

  • I've never felt more handy.

  • I'm here because Salah El-Fadji is showing me his vision of the future.
