Reviews / Votes
It is a rewarding read written by someone who has clearly researched long and hard and deeply into the subject. The author offers valuable tools and techniques, protocols and model documents, to anyone sufficiently interested to open his book. In fact, Zairi's book is subtitled: practical guidelines and examples of best practice, a claim it meets with ease.David Robson, The Journal of the Institute of Public Sector Management
