Hit the Books

For us to win faster, we have to focus on three main things:

first, our brands have to be the clear leaders in their

segments. Second, our guest service has to be consistently

memorable. And third, our owner relationships have to be

intimate, strong and productive. When we lead in these

three areas, we will be the number one company we aspire

to be.

­ Elie Maalouf

Everything we need to win is there – creating preferred

brands, leveraging our scale, our loyalty scheme, managing

the distribution channels and having a brilliant owner

proposition. We don't need to be rethinking this, it's just

about getting out and delivering it.

­ Richard Solomons

Can we achieve our targets in 2015? I believe we can.

Because I have seen what you've done already. And if I can

go from a night auditor to a CFO, I know I can do anything.

And I know you can, too.

Elie couldn’t get to all your questions, but don’t worry, we’ll get them answered in an upcoming issue of the Communication Bulletin.

How did we measure up in 2014?
