This is an extract taken from the HSBC forum in London recently.

He (Sir Eric) outlines a particular example of cost saving he learnt from a business colleague, Steve Jobs. "He showed me a process for managing relationships with people they thought they might employ in the next few years," Sir Eric explains, happy to pass on the wisdom. "I've got a version of it. We build up relationships with people. We hear when they've got itchy feet. We make sure we have a few beers with them or a lunch. As a result, I've cut my recruitment costs by 80 per cent."
