PMI were delighted with the success of a series of seminars held recently with leading experts Professors Tom and Elaine Johnson.

Many people from leading businesses were in attendance to hear Tom’s lectures on both Managing for Life and Managing by Means, followed by Elaine’s unique take on how the brain functions in relation to these subjects.

Held in three different locations on three different days the events were viewed by all who attended as superb, with one delegate saying “Tom is a master of his craft and great to talk to.”

Tom’s rare visit to the UK prompted interest from Accountancy Age, who were keen to discuss with him the Managing By Means presentation.  Details of this interview can be found here.

PMI would like to thank Tom and Elaine for giving us all the opportunity to be part of such a special event.

A selection of papers by Professor Tom Johnson can be downloaded from our publications and resources section.

We have developed a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Strategy which will enable us to minimise our environmental impact. The development of this strategy has seen us look into and understand the true environmental consequences of all our business activities from raw materials consumption through to energy use. We have sought new ways to reduce these factors and raise awareness of them with the overall objective being to minimise our impact on the natural environment. For more information please see our CSR page. True to form, we are looking to continually update and improve our policy so please get in touch if you have any ideas for us!
