On the 22nd of September I’ll be giving a talk for the Turnaround Management Association . 

With continued talk of recession, the credit crunch and an increase in raw material costs, many businesses are facing challenges on all fronts.

I’ll be offering my views on the impact corporate culture has on all of this and the real bottom line benefits of building a values driven business.  It’s not THE answer to what’s going on in the world of business and the economy, but it makes a significant difference.

Join me where I’ll share :-
