"Companies can gain a real competitive advantage from managing their performance effectively. This book is bristling with ideas, tools and practical examples of how your business can manage performance better." Mark Baker, Head of Risk and Assurance for Pentland Brands "Mike & Pippa Bourne have really covered the field with this book - from the practical tools to the conceptual approaches. A thoughtful but highly practical approach to corporate performance measurement and management." Paul Woodward, CEO Sue Ryder - Former CEO Schering UK "The theory of corporate performance management is not complicated but putting it into practice is quite another issue. This book explains very clearly the underpinning theory and it also provides examples of how leaders have tackled some of the thorny problems associated with implementation." Mike Ophield, Managing Director, Crowcon "If you are finding it hard to implement your strategy then it's time to read this book. Corporate Performance Management will take you through the tools and approaches to ensure your strategy is executed and to manage the resulting performance." Andrew Brodie, HR Director, Faccenda Group
