There was sad news recently as Sir Gerry Robinson passed away. Both Nigel and Ray reflect on the 'TroubleShooter' style of tv that he and (one of Nigel's heroes) Sir John Harvey Jones pioneered. As the NHS spirals into a media fuelled doom, we look at the principles of a strong management team being key to investors and whether they feel confident to invest. The NHS, we suspect, would not get much investment from sane investors. However, Sir Gerry showed that with better management then the NHS doesn't need more money. What are the lessons about management and funding that we can take from his tv show: Can Gerry Robinson fix the NHS? If you never saw the 2007 series then go watch it now, it will be somewhere on YouTube!!

Especially in areas like employment, contract and finances.  8. Try not to inflame a disaster or to exacerbate one, however tempting!  9. Don't be surprised if you are asked to provide more money to help the business buy its way out of the disaster! 10. There is no shame in honest failure.

Interest rates are at historic lows Property valuations are at historic highs Can you release equity and have cash ready for the forthcoming downturn? Is there a downturn coming?  Well usually there is one every so often and perhaps we are due for one soon. That may be a little uncertain but something far more certain is the fact that in the last downturn - the 'credit crunch' - those who had cash got the best bargains. So is it worth reviewing your position to see if you could take advantage of the current circumstances to build a war chest to grab the bargains?? Resources: NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
