A new report released last month provides clear evidence of the impact of investment in management capabilities on business profitability. The analysis, conducted by Cranfield School of Management, found a clear link between good management and improved business performance, in spite of the challenging economic context and the wider impact of the recession on business success.

It also showed how working with Investors in People has a strong and positive impact on management performance.

Peter Russian, Chief Executive of Investors in People Scotland, said: “This is compelling research. This report clearly demonstrates that equipping managers, so that they can perform to the best of their ability, is critical to business success. Yet many people are expected to perform in a management role without structured development or support. Employers should take note: effective management at all levels improves business performance, so enhancing management capability will deliver tangible results.”
