Synopsis

On the eleventh of November 2018, we are commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War. Over the last few years, we have heard a lot about that conflict: the causes, the major battles and, especially, the impact on the lives of people at home as well as at the Front.It has been said, however, that the main use for the past is for us to learn from it. So even if you do not take much interest in history, I assure you there are lots of lessons to be learnt from the Great War. Not only for soldiers or politicians. It was a classic case of How Not To Do… lots of things, as well as containing just the odd exceptional example that may be worth copying! I do not want to encourage anyone to be too backward looking, but I believe there are lessons we can all learn from the errors, and even the occasional moment of insight, that we can see in the Great War.Therefore, I am setting out in this book my thoughts on how to apply some of the lessons of that War to management. But let us remember that management cannot be separated from other aspects of life in general, so there will probably be something for almost everyone in this book.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

JOHN HARVEY MURRAY After studying Economics and Accountancy at Bristol University, John worked in accountancy and audit in several types of local authority prior to becoming Insurance Officer at St Helens Council where he achieved considerable savings in the cost of insurance and risk, which results compared favourably with those of other authorities, according to independent sources, resulting in an overall cost of risk and insurance some 15% below the average for comparable authorities. This was achieved by improving claims-handling and risk management as well as by restructuring the insurance programme. John also made changes to the Council's insurance tendering process in order to obtain the best value for the money spent on premiums. He is currently self-employed as JHM Risk Management Services, offering risk management and liability claims-handling services to businesses and other organisations, to enable owners and managers to save time and stress as well as money. He offers a data-protection service, and can help clients deal with claims arising from data breaches as well as from other sources. John is a member of the accountancy body CIPFA, is a Registered Risk Practitioner with ALARM, and is a Specialist Member of the Institute of Risk Managers. Go to www.jhmriskmanagementservices.co.uk
