Ever been in a meeting and heard the terms "Recovery", "Resolution" and "Stress Continuum"? Do they leave you bored and confused, but you know you ought to understand something about it? If so, this is the podcast which brings these terms to life. Kevin O'Donnell from Skipton Building Society talks to Justin Fox, Virgin Money and Chair of ALMA, about these ideas.
