• How to succeed at job interviews - Checklist 033

  £4.50

  The recruitment or selection interview represents an opportunity to present yourself to a potential employer as someone who has the skills, experience and knowledge to do the job and make a significant contribution to the organisation.  Many people face interviews with trepidation, but good interview skills can help you to make a good impression and secure the job or the promotion you seek.  Whatever type of interview you face, careful preparation is a key factor in how you perform on the day and the impression you create.

• Implementing Kaizen - Checklist 142

• Implementing the balanced scorecard - Checklist 154

  £4.50

  Traditionally, managers have used a series of indicators to measure how well their organisations are performing. These measures relate essentially to financial issues such as business ratios, productivity, unit costs, growth and profitability. While useful in themselves, they provide only a narrowly focused snapshot of how an organisation performed in the past and give little indication of likely future performance.

• Internal audit - Checklist 049

  £4.50

  Accounting scandals at the end of the twentieth century have undermined public confidence in business and increased pressure on companies to demonstrate to shareholders and other stakeholders that they have effective internal controls in place, and that their affairs are efficiently and responsibly governed. The collapse of companies such as Enron and WorldCom led to the introduction of new legislation such as the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States, which has implications for all companies doing business in America. This has raised the profile of internal audit and highlighted the key role it has to play in managing risk and upholding standards of governance.

• Inventory management - Checklist 134

  £4.50

  Inventory management is important at both ends of a spectrum.  On one hand, it is often neglected and this can lead to problems, as too much stock of the wrong kind - or even the right kind - means that cash resources are tied up unnecessarily, that cash flow is prejudiced and, in extreme cases, that survival may be in jeopardy. But, on the other hand, too little stock of the right kind can result in being unable to meet customer needs.
