		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I last posted, as I&#8217;ve been rather preoccupied with writing a book (more on that at a later date).
In the meantime, here&#8217;s something that&#8217;s worth a look, discovered last week when I and a couple of pals attended the recording of Mark Thomas&#8216; new Radio 4 comedy show The Manifesto.
It&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crmatters.wordpress.com&blog=3286512&post=490&subd=crmatters&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regular readers will know the tired drumhead I beat about regulation. Legal compliance does not a responsible entity make.
As a means to encourage more ethical behaviour, regulation (particularly self-regulation) is a deeply flawed strategy, and anyone who doubts it need look no further than the seemingly endless revelations in the Telegraph this past week concerning [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crmatters.wordpress.com&blog=3286512&post=477&subd=crmatters&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

David Cameron (that&#8217;s the author of the On Brands blog, not the leader of the Conservative party!) posted an interesting question on LinkedIn the other day:

I&#8217;ve written in the past about how pretty much everything you do as a business [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crmatters.wordpress.com&blog=3286512&post=450&subd=crmatters&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure, profits may be down 26% as it strives to maintain cost competitiveness, but John Lewis is still outperforming most of the high street. Profits were still a very respectable £279.6m in 2008, and sales were even up 3% on last year to £6.79bn.
Equally significant, though, is that it&#8217;s been able to pay its staff [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crmatters.wordpress.com&blog=3286512&post=336&subd=crmatters&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
