Having secured a 93% vote in favour of reform, Ms Newton-Smith sees no reason why doors should not once more open in Whitehall.
If that sounds bullish for an organisation that was consulting lawyers about winding up procedures a week ago, the mandate from members is undeniable, though it comes with caveats.The leadership won 93% of the 371 votes cast but, by definition, that did not include the scores of member companies who voted with their feet and walked away when the allegations first surfaced.
The departure of so many big hitters has left the organisation with a cash crisis as well as a credibility challenge.A core worry for Rain Newton-Smith, in addition to the CBI being left in the political wilderness, is the body's finances Infighting among business lobbyists is not box office stuff but it does matter to companies and in Whitehall, particularly in an economic slowdown with an election looming.
It could also face challenges from the former director-general Tony Danker, who is considering his legal position having been dismissed for misconduct claims he says he was cleared of by an earlier investigation.The exact nature of that complaint, like so much in this scandal, remains unclear. The CBI's crisis is curious for having threatened its existence, and raised significant questions about workplace culture on the basis of very little established fact.
