About the Author

Gary Ashworth leads Ernst & Young's Performance Management Service Line in the UK, an area of work in which he has specialised as a management consultant for some 10 years. Regularly invited to speak at conferences and seminars, he has become a recognised authority on the subject as a result of his extensive implementation experience in some of the UK's leading companies. His passion for improving approaches to managing business performance is born out of both his commitment to his profession and a wide range of practical experience prior to entering consultancy. This included working for over 12 years at senior levels in such companies such as Shell, Whitbread and Sainsbury's, both as a commercial financial adviser or business partner, and as a general manager. He is a Fellow of the chartered Institute of Management Consultants, a certified Management consultant, and a Member of the British Institute of Management. His expertise as an author is witnessed by the number of times his co-authored articles on performance management have been published over recent years. A good number of these have been given international acclaim by the International Federation odf Accountants (IFAC) for making "a distinguished contribution" to the development of the management accounting profession. For example, his article on "Managing Customers For Profit" was IFAC's winning article in the 1995 world-wide published article competition. In addition, he was invited by the Institute of Grocery Distribution to chair the development of an industry-wide initiative on the value of measuring and using customer profitability information. This resulted in the publication of "An Industry Approach to Best Practice in Customer Account Profitability and thereby created a "template" to which some companies within the software industry responded with "packaged solutions". While the present clearly a more complex area, the author awaits with interest to see if similar developments on "Delivering Shareholder Value" will materialise.
