• Does the expertise and experience exist among professional advisers and more generally across the business community to support employee ownership?


• Are the benefits of employee ownership understood and are they demonstrated by success stories, backed up by research?


• Are there practical tool kits in use to implement every form of employee ownership?


• Is there Government support for employee ownership backed up by incentives and a commitment to remove obstacles?


• Do we have the necessary champions of employee ownership?


• Is there an ambitious target against which we are measuring success?"
