BBRT - Beyond Budgeting Roundtable BBRT - Beyond Budgeting Roundtable
What is the BBRT?
The BBRT is an international shared learning network of member organizations with a common interest in transforming their performance management models to enable sustained, superior performance. BBRT helps organizations learn from world-wide best practice studies and encourages them to share information, past successes and implementation experiences to move beyond command and control.
The BBRT promotes a set of principles that lead to more dynamic processes and front-line accountability. Organizations that follow this approach transform their management model in line with these principles, which are outlined in Beyond Budgeting: How Managers Can Break Free from the Annual Performance Trap, published by Harvard Business School Press.
The BBRT is at the heart of a new movement that is searching for ways to build lean, adaptive and ethical enterprises that can sustain superior competitive performance. Its aim is to spread the idea through a vibrant community.

The UK Observer newspaper axes Simon Caulkin's management column
The UK sunday newspaper The Observer has axed Simon Caulkin's regular column on management.

Simon's piece in last Sunday's Observer (14 June 2009 - Farewell, with a last word on the blunder years) perfectly sums up much of what we are promoting in the BBRT.
