SAICA: Integrated thinking, an exploratory survey

The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) have published a document, ‘Integrated thinking, an exploratory survey‘ in which they surveyed some of the top 100 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and leading state-owned entities.

According to Ray Andersen, Chairman of the SAICA Integrated Thinking Project Group, “Over 70% of the executives and non-executive directors who participated in the survey believe that decision-making at board and management level had improved as a result of applying integrated thinking. It had enhanced the quality of information made available in the decision-making process and facilitated a longer term context for decisions.”
