Young chums

"We recently held the first session of the Radio and Education reverse mentoring network."

As the BBC's thought leader James Purnell acknowledges, it's probably just as well the latest series of drama-documentary W1A is in the can. Mr Purnell has taken up Jack Welch's idea from 1999, when GE executives were paired with staff under 30 to help them get a handle on the internet.

From October, every member of the Radio & Education management team will have a mentor from the division who is under 30.

I'd particularly like to hear, anonymously of course, from those paired with Bob Shennan, Alan Davey and Graham Ellis. I'll keep it secret, honest.
