  10. LOSING £100,000 EVERY DAY LOSING ABOUT £1,000,000 EVERY TWO WEEKS “Back in 2000, The Sunday Times recruitment section was 60 pages. It has been as low as eight pages this year… Classified advertising won’t come back. We will never get back to the good old days of 2000.” Susan Panuccio, FD of News International (£2.1bn loss for 2008/9)

  11. Which means • The traditional model of advertising agencies is over and we can’t rely on media discounts if there’s no media! • We need to look at new and different models of engagement such as: • Direct engagement with media groups • Influencing online providers • Payment by results

  12. Review modules of service to focus on better value • Online systems – still viable? • Executive Search – needs: • Greater focus on specialism • Address equality issues • Help to address where our next generation of leaders come from.

  13. Expansion plans / Greater collaboration • Limited opportunities left within London • Early discussions around collaborative working have been held with: • ESPO • Cambridgeshire (and associated shared service) • Local Government Professional Services Group … and more conversations to come.
