an ongoing focus on

paramount importance today
when conditions evolve so
quickly.

Principle 6 – Evidence-based decision making.

Making decisions is never


easy and naturally involves a
degree of uncertainty, but
ensuring your decisions are

evaluation of data is more
likely to produce the desired
result.

Principle 7 – Relationship management

Today’s businesses
and organizations do
not work in a vacuum.
Identifying the important
relationships you have
with interested parties
such as your suppliers
– and setting out a plan
to manage them – will
drive sustained
success.
