Introduction

• Steve Chapman • Alnur Hassam • Liam McGoldrick • Oliver Scutts

Please find enclosed the proposals put forward by those applying for the Great Leaders Aspiring Directors Programme. We have viewed each against a matrix to identify those that are both of high ‘Value’ and ‘Easy to Do’. These are summarised and open to further discussion.

The detail of each proposal is also provided separately.

Defer until 2022 (2):

Please note that we are attempting to focus on the underlying idea behind each proposal and the positive impact that it could potentially have for the business.

• Andy Best • Darren Harlen

Some of the proposals outline the premise on which it is based. This is not our focus. The language can be quite negative on a narrowly focused issue and can misrepresent the applicants complete understanding i.e., it can be read ‘out of context’. Our focus is therefore strictly on the positive impact of the idea and the value it could add to our business.
