Dear David,I wanted to write and say thank you for the positive impact you have had on my own financialcareer and journey. I first came across your work at a CIMA workshop on KPIs in the early 2000’s.It was held in London.I think it may have been at the CIMAInstituteHQ.I was truly inspired that day not only by the content delivered but the way you delivered it. Sincethen,I’ve purchased your books, updated editions,etc. and have applied many principles.Without a doubt,the inspiration and the application of your ideas/concepts have given mesuccess, and that success has allowed me life experiences that I would nothavethought possible.I always recommend your books to my peers, finance staff,and those going through graduateprograms,etc and enjoy the benefits. The faster month-end close and post-it session to get therehas been a particular favorite of mine. It gets the foundations right for the next stages in aFinancedepartment’s evolution.I’ve thought aboutwriting something like this for many years and showing my gratitude. Today Ithought I’d just be kind and get on with saying thanks. All the best
