I don’t often put direct links to website in my newsletters as you know – there’s a danger that it becomes an expectation and that the whole thing just becomes an unreadable list of links – but I thought I’d break my own rule and attach one that will take you to The World Economic Forum. It has teamed up with the University of Cambridge and the Business School of the National University of Singapore to develop the Future Readiness of SMEs and Mid-Size companies benchmark – a 20 minute self-assessment tool designed to help you identify your company’s strengths and potential gaps and to benchmark your organisation with regard to your peers. Perhaps worth a look?
