This final chapter has an ambitious remit. It firstly seeks to draw together the concept of private provision for public purpose with particular reference to the work of Falck, the global international rescue company. This will draw upon the various contents of this book and draw the links and implications of the chapters using a number of themes. We utilise a format from a book of 1982 which was widely used to identify “excellent companies” (Peters and Waterman 1982). Secondly, the book will examine the macro environment for Falck using a combination of techniques. The first is to identify and describe some key global (as opposed to local) trends which appear to be important for the business areas with particular focus upon the emergency and rescue area. The second technique is to try to identify and assess possible future environments. This technique, pioneered by Shell, is called scenario analysis. This will be applied using four potential scenarios.
