“Professor Wilson’s work helped us to put the Department’s performance in a comparative context. His report was used to cross check findings from our own literature reviews, international comparisons and interviews with internal and external stakeholders. It also provided us with a valuable insight into how other organisations measure performance and provided context for our performance data analysis.”  HMRC: Management of Tax Debt (2008) ISBN 9780102954395
