Chapter Seven of Cash Asleep in the Building: Working Capital as an Organisational Question.

Abstract

Twelve working pages, the walks, the record, the conversation and the ledger, ready to carry into a room. The chapters of this book describe five practices as people doing them. This chapter holds the working pages: the worksheets, the question sets, the record sheets and the one-page agreement that the earlier chapters point to and do not print. Each page is meant to be photocopied, filled in by hand, and kept in a folder that the keeper of the ledger, described in Chapter 6, looks after. Nothing here needs software beyond the reports the firm's systems already produce. The pages follow the order of the first ninety days, not the order of the chapters. Each opens with a line saying where it comes from and when it is used. Where a page gives a script, the words are a starting point; say them in your own voice. Where it gives a time, the time is a planning guide from practice, not a finding.
