What Really Works - The 4+2 Formula for Sustained Business Success

William Joyce, Nitin Nohria, Bruce Roberson (Harper Collins)

Three highly regarded people from the business world (two business academics and a former partner at McKinsey) present the results of 5 years research into what separates highly successful organisations from the rest.

The results are presented in a successful (and simple) formula that can be applied to any organisation. It also shows how the elements are applied. This book is a must for anyone wishing to create a truly successful business for the future. The formula concentrates on the core key attributes that must be in place.

Once applied, all other level requirements will fall into place. The book is easy to read and the findings are brought to life through many examples of businesses that apply the successful formula and by contrasting them with examples of businesses that do not.

Contributer: Rowland Aarons, Brooks Green.

Employer provided vans.

The benefit in relation to employer provided vans increased significantly last year. Now is the time of year for P11D completion so don't be caught out.
