P4 modelPurpose,People, Planet,Probity The four cornerstones of sustainable success in any modern business venture & a maxim for todays management & organisational philosphy.This model is not a process or technique its the character or personality of a good manager

Probity,Purpose,People,PlanetProbity means honesty, uprightness,-its from the Latin word Probus , meaning good.Purpose is an apt replacement for profit & thus makes the acronym appropriate for use in not-for-profit organizations. Profit-focused corporations can of course substitute 'Profit' for 'Purpose' People staff,customers,suppliers,e.t.cPlanet the environment we live in

P4 ModelTraditional inward-looking management and managerial skills (which historically considered only the purpose - typically profit - and the methods for achieving it) are no longer sufficient for sustainable organizational success. Organizations have a far wider agenda today. Moreover, performance, behaviour and standards are transparent globally - the whole world can see and judge how managers and organizations behave - and the modern manager must now lead with this global accountability.
