Dear readers,

with the set up of the new Beta Codex Network webportal we would like to make our first donation to the network. We are proud to contribute soon the first beta codex pioneer case study in English ever. It will be a completely revised version of our older Beyond Budgeting Case Study "Favi".

The paper will feature:

Compared to other countries, the Netherlands may be a small country, but surprisingly does feature a long Beyond Budgeting history thanks to the efforts of mainly Prof. Dr. Andre de Waal. From 1999 - 2007 he has conducted several primary research studies in the Netherlands, has published several articles in Dutch Controlling magazines and three Dutch books, and set up a Dutch online Beyond Budgeting diagnostic (the Beyond Budgeting Entry Scan (BBES)). Today Prof. Dr. Andre de Waal departed from the Beyond Budgeting mindset and focuses on research on the “High performance organization”.

In the 31 min video "Flight of the buffalo" former Johnsonville CEO Ralph Stayer and James Belasco share their experiences of three American cases (Owens & Minor, Furon Company and the U.S. Naval Supply Depot in San Diego) making mainly the Beyond Budgeting's leadership principles real. The complete video can be viewed free of charge after registration directly at trainingABC.com or can alternatively be ordered as DVD: http://www.trainingabc.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16781 .
