Whilst teaching at the Joint Services Command and Staff College in the nineties, Simon noticed how military decision making could improve business performance and started to apply these ideas in his own companies and those of his clients to great effect. These techniques, informed by lessons from the battlefield, enable business leaders to solve problems and create and implement plans quickly and rigorously, whilst engendering real commitment from their staff.
